USA: Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship Program - Jack Kent Cooke Foundation

Overview

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is a private, independent foundation dedicated to advancing the education of exceptionally promising students. We offer several scholarship programs, including this program for community college students.

The Scholarship

Our Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship Program enables community college students with exceptional promise and demonstrated financial need to pursue a baccalaureate degree. Demonstrated financial need includes (1) low family and student income and assets in light of educational expenses, and (2) substantial unmet educational costs after other scholarships and grants students may receive. Students in any discipline are eligible.

The Award

The Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship Program provides funding for tuition, room and board, required fees, and books for the remainder of the Scholar’s undergraduate degree. Scholarship amounts vary based on several factors, including costs at the institution each recipient attends and other grants and scholarships the student receives. Awards can be for as much as $30,000 annually.


Minimum Eligibility

To be eligible to compete for the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship, a candidate must
• Be a current student at an accredited US community college or two-year institution with sophomore status, OR a recent graduate (within the last five years),
• Have a cumulative college grade point average of 3.50 or better on a 4.0 scale (or the equivalent),
• Plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to begin studies in the coming fall, and
• Be nominated by his or her two-year institution.

Application Procedure

Students must be nominated by their two-year institutions. They cannot apply directly. Each accredited twoyear institution may nominate two candidates.

Deadline for Application

The application deadline is typically February 1. Campuses set earlier internal deadlines for receiving applications to select their nominees.

Faculty Representatives

Each institution has a faculty representative who manages the nomination process. Please visit the Foundation’s website for a complete list of faculty representatives and their contact information.

Guidelines and application materials are available on the Foundation’s website: www.jkcf.org
