Transfer Scholarships at Campbellsville University Increase

CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY (03/26/2015)(readMedia)-- Campbellsville University has taken another step to make Christian education more affordable for all students as transfer scholarships will soon be increased from a few thousand dollars to opportunities ranging from $6,000-$9,000.

"We've increased the amount of transfer scholarships in order to reduce the amount of loans that transfer students would need," Kenny Lawson, transfer coordinator and men's golf coach, said.

As cost of tuition increased, the number of transfer students began to decrease. There needed to be a greater emphasis on financial aid for the students, Lawson said. The increase in transfer scholarships is expected to help students in the transition process.

"I want to make transferring to CU easier for all students," Lawson said.

The transfer scholarship increase will start at the beginning of the fall 2015 semester.

Campbellsville University is a widely acclaimed Kentucky-based Christian university with more than 3,500 students offering 63 undergraduate options, 17 master's degrees, five postgraduate areas and eight pre-professional programs. The website for complete information is campbellsville.edu.
