The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship Program each year awards about 50 scholarships to students attending community colleges or two-year institutions and planning to transfer to four-year institutions.
Award
Each award covers a portion of educational expenses, including tuition, living expenses, required fees, and books for the final two to three years of the baccalaureate degree. The amount and duration of awards vary by student based on the cost of attendance and the length of the program as well as other scholarships or grants received. The maximum available per student is $30,000 per year. This is the largest scholarship offered in the US to community college transfer students.
