## About this scholarship

The Founders' (Transfer/Nursing) scholarship is a merit-based financial aid program offered by Alverno College. This award is designed specifically for incoming transfer students and 2+2 nursing students who are transitioning to the institution. To qualify, transfer applicants must have a cumulative grade point average between 2.3 and 2.99, while 2+2 nursing applicants must hold a grade point average between 2.5 and 2.99. 

The scholarship provides $18,000 per year to help cover educational costs, and the funding is renewable for subsequent years of study. Because this is a merit-based award determined during the admissions process, it is automatically awarded to eligible students upon their acceptance to the college.
