The requirements of Jax State's Presidential Transfer Leadership Scholarship are as follows:
- 3.5 transfer GPA (calculated by Jax State)
- 45+ transferable hours earned at an ACCS institution (calculated by Jax State)
- 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.
