Have you applied to CMU?
Great! That’s the first step. By applying to CMU, you’ve already applied for most of our transfer scholarships. Let’s examine what you can earn.
That's OK! Our transfer scholarships are awarded based on information (such as GPA and credits earned) provided in your application. You'll want to apply at fireup.cmich.edu/apply to determine actual scholarship eligibility. But, hey, let's keep going so we can still estimate what you can earn.
Do you plan to enroll full time or part time at CMU?
Note:
Full time is defined as a minimum of 12 credits per semester, 30 credits in an academic year.
Part time is defined as 6-11 credits per semester, a minimum of 15 credits per academic year.
