Transfer Students, Academic scholarships for transfers are awarded according to cumulative college GPA. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required. Students who have enrolled full-time at another college or university for one semester or more are considered transfer students.

Returning Students, (Lipscomb being the initial school as a first-time freshman),
