The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation will award Undergraduate Transfer Scholarships to outstanding community college students who plan to enroll full-time in a baccalaureate program at an accredited college or university and begin studies in fall 2027. Each award will fund a portion of the student’s educational costs for the final two or three years of a bachelor’s degree, including tuition, room and board, books and other required fees. The award, which is last dollar funding after all institutional aid, can be as much as $55,000 per year.
To be eligible to apply for the scholarship program, a candidate must, at a minimum, meet all of the following requirements:
· Be a current student at an accredited U.S. community college or two-year institution with sophomore status as of January 1, 2027, or a recent graduate (since spring 2022)
· Plan to enroll full-time in a baccalaureate program at an accredited college or university in the fall of 2027
· Possess a cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale (or the equivalent)
· Demonstrate unmet financial need
· No previous enrollment or attendance at a four-year institution.
