Thanks to the support of the Lebrecht Hites Foundation, Collin College Foundation is able to offer two transfer scholarships to select students who are completing their associate degrees here at Collin College and who will continue their higher education journeys at one of our university partners.
Applications will open during the fall 2026 scholarship application cycle for academic year 2026-2027. Students who graduate in December and start their new University in January will not be eligible to apply until the following academic year. Awards are typically announced in late spring or early summer. Requirements are as follows:
- Do you have a 3.5 GPA or higher?
- Will you have completed 60 hours at Collin College by the end of June?
- Are you transferring to one of our four-year partner Universities in Fall?
- Have you taken honors classes or been a member of the Collin College honors program?
You must complete the general application and answer the transferring question with a "YES”. This will send you to the transfer scholarship application. Please note: a letter of recommendation is required.
