Financial Aid Office
TRANSFER STUDENTS
WELCOME TO LIPSCOMB UNIVERSITY
Your initial award is based on the information that we currently have in our system. If the Admissions Department has not received all of the information they require, your financial aid may have an incorrect loan amount awarded and any institutional funds from Lipscomb may be incomplete. Your final award will be based on all hours earned until you begin classes at Lipscomb. If we receive additional transcript information, your award could change.
The scale for Transfer Academic Scholarships are as follows (yearly amounts):
3.0-3.49 $1,500
3.50-3.74 $2,500
3.75-4.0 $3,500
Your GPA will be reviewed at the end of each semester. You must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA to keep an academic scholarship. Traditional Undergraduate Students must take a minimum of 12 hours per semester to receive institutional aid. If you are placed on probation of any kind, you will lose your institutional aid the following semester. If you did not enter Lipscomb with an academic scholarship, we will be happy to review your GPA after 2 full time semesters and award you based on the scale above.
Students transferring from a community college with at least 30 hours are eligible for an additional $2,500 in scholarship funds.
Are you a TN Resident? Did you receive the HOPE scholarship at your previous school? Have you notified TSAC to transfer your HOPE Scholarship to Lipscomb University? You must meet the GPA and hours attempted requirements to retain the scholarship for the 2008-09 school year. All requirements for the HOPE scholarship can be found at www.CollegePaysTN.com .
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about your Financial Aid. Thank you and we look forward to working with you to achieve your academic goals.
