At the Transfer Scholars Network, we work to expand opportunities for high-achieving community college students who aspire to transfer to a highly selective private four-year institution. Too often, community college students consider these colleges and universities as out of reach or may not think they have the information, guidance, or support to apply and enroll at top-tier schools if they are admitted.
TSN helps students to believe that transferring to a highly selective institution is possible and begin learning about their options across our four-year partner network and other schools. TSN partners are committed to providing the most generous financial aid packages for qualified transfer applicants who receive admission offers and then make the decision to enroll or attend a school within the network.
Since 2021, more than 45 Transfer Scholars have enrolled and pursued their educational goals at a TSN four-year partner institution. Over 650 students have joined TSN after receiving a nomination letter from their community college. Learn more about the TSN process.

Transfer Scholars represent the breadth and diversity of talent found across community colleges all over the country. Many scholars go on to transfer to four-year colleges and universities that offer the best chances to graduate with a bachelor’s degree.
We are proud to see students transfer to TSN partner schools and other selective colleges and universities in the United States.
