Transfer Scholarships
Maine College of Art & Design has merit-based scholarship funds designated specifically for transfer students. Admitted students are considered for merit scholarships ranging from $13,000–$21,000 per year, with particular attention to the strengths of previous GPA and the portfolio submitted for admission.
These scholarships are renewable each year of enrollment provided the student maintains good academic standing. Applicants must complete all admission requirements to be eligible for admission, scholarships, and financial aid.
How to Transfer
Members of our Admissions staff are available to meet with you to review your transcripts and determine how your previously earned credits will apply to our curricular requirements.
We use the following guidelines to transfer your existing credits into our curriculum:
- A “C” or higher must be earned.
- Courses must be 100 level or higher (no remedial courses).
- Official Transcripts must be submitted. Faxed or unofficial copies are not accepted as proof of credit.
- The college or university must be regionally accredited.
- Courses must be worth three credits (or five quarter hours).
Learn More and Apply
In addition to the application requirements for the Bachelor of Fine Arts, transfer students (anyone who has previously matriculated at another college or university) must submit all transcripts for previous college or university attendance. This requirement includes colleges where you earned less than three credits or no credit at all (for example, you withdrew before completing coursework).
