Were you previously admitted to Ursinus?
As a former admitted student, we will honor the merit scholarship you were awarded at the time of your first-year acceptance for fall 2023. If, however, you stand to earn a greater merit scholarship through your new status as a transfer student, we will award you that merit scholarship instead.
**While we cannot guarantee previously awarded tuition exchange, you can reapply for tuition exchange if you are still eligible through your home institution. Specialty scholarships are excluded, and need-based aid previously awarded is subject to change based on your updated EFC as determined by the FAFSA.
