Transfer Student Scholarships

Scholarships for new transfer students are one more way that CSU helps make college more affordable. For 2024-2025, 80% of CSU undergraduates received aid totaling approximately $167 million.

New transfer students are automatically considered for scholarships once admitted to Cleveland State University. Recipients of scholarships listed below must be new, first-time (never before attended) Cleveland State University students, enrolled in a degree granting program and pursuing their first Bachelor’s Degree. All students are encouraged to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for full consideration of all types of financial aid.
