ACU Transfer Scholarships

At Abilene Christian University, we understand that education is a significant investment for our students and their families. We’re committed to making the ACU experience as affordable as possible for everyone by offering an innovative tuition model, institutional financial aid, no-interest payment plans, a pre-paid tuition option, resources to external funding, and access to a team of financial aid professionals to help guide you through the process.

Students transferring to ACU within one year of their high school graduation date will qualify for the previous year’s freshman academic scholarships. To qualify for these awards, students must submit their final high school transcript and ACT/SAT scores.

If you’re transferring to ACU, you may be eligible for scholarships made just for students like you. Admitted students will be notified of their scholarship level at the time of acceptance, or students can contact the transfer admission counselor to find out what scholarship they could receive.

Rewarding your academic success.
