Special Opportunity for Transfer Students

This year, we’re piloting a new Transfer Discovery Seminar designed specifically for students who are joining UW after beginning their studies elsewhere. Transfer students bring incredible experience, perspective, and focus—and we want to help them connect quickly to the academic resources that will support their goals.

To make this transition even stronger, the Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is partnering with College Edge to provide full scholarships for up to 20 transfer students who enroll in a Transfer Discovery Seminar.

Why this opportunity? Research shows that early engagement with UW’s academic and research communities helps transfer students:

• build faculty relationships
• strengthen their academic direction
• connect to majors sooner
• access research and internship pathways more quickly

This scholarship ensures that transfer students can begin making those connections from day one—without additional financial barriers.
