Transfer Impact Award

The BW Transfer Impact Award is a scholarship for undergraduate students transferring to BW. Consistent with BW's mission, the award recognizes transfer students who seek to better themselves through higher education and become contributing, compassionate members of society.

Four renewable scholarships each valued at $2500 per year will be awarded for transfer students entering BW each fall semester. One renewable scholarship valued at $2500 per year will be awarded for transfer students entering BW each spring semester.

Award Application Process: Applicants for the BW Transfer Impact Award should submit a separate application using the BW Transfer Impact Award Application. Included in the application you will find a place to upload a one-page essay (double-spaced) that addresses the following question:

What does it mean to be a contributing, compassionate member of society and how will a Baldwin Wallace University education best position you to have a lasting impact?

The Scholarship Committee will consider both the content of the applicant's essay as well as elements within the applicant's full application for admission to BW when determining award recipients. Applicants must enroll as full-time students at BW to receive and maintain the BW Transfer Impact Award.
