Information for Transfer Champions

Beginning Fall 2025, Jacksonville State University is proud to offer one (1) Presidential Transfer Leadership Scholarship to outstanding transfer students from our ACCS community college partners. This competitive scholarship is valued at full tuition and is renewable for 1 year (4 semesters). This scholarship is for tuition only and replaces any previously awarded academic merit scholarship offers. The recipient of this scholarship is selected by faculty and staff from our ACCS partners. Please contact a transfer advisor from your community college or your Transfer Admissions Counselorfor more information. Those offered a Presidential Transfer Leadership Scholarship must accept their offer formally with Jacksonville State no later than May 1. Presidential Transfer Leadership Scholarship recipients must start their Jax State studies in a fall term.

The requirements of Jax State's Presidential Transfer Leadership Scholarship are as follows:

1. 3.5 transfer GPA (calculated by Jax State)
2. 45+ transferable hours earned at an ACCS institution (calculated by Jax State)
3. Be classified at Jax State as a First-Time Transfer student for admission and scholarship purposes. This means that a student cannot have previously attended Jax State as a degree-seeking student. Students who previously enrolled at Jax State only as a dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment (Transfer Prep), or non-degree/transient student may be considered.
4. Be in good academic and disciplinary standing at the community college and at Jax State, if such history exists.
5. Have demonstrated ability to balance academic achievement with at least one of the following areas: campus involvement, community involvement/volunteerism, family responsibilities, scholarly achievements, or work/professional responsibilities.
6. Commitment to serve as a Transfer Student Mentor (TSM) during the first year at Jacksonville State. Transfer Student Mentors will serve as a recruitment and enrollment resource to prospective transfer students from their former community college upon their enrollment at Jax State. In the second year, recipients may either continue as a TSM or choose another campus group to continue their involvement.
