HCC students eligible to compete for transfer scholarship

Hagerstown Community College students planning transfer to the University of Baltimore are eligible to apply for the 2011 Wilson Presidential Scholarship.

This transfer scholarship covers 100 percent of in-state tuition per academic year. To be eligible, students must have a cross-institutional GPA of 3.5 or higher. The award covers four semesters of enrollment, excluding summer, if a University of Baltimore GPA of 3.25 is maintained. Students can apply one of two ways:

1. Through HCC or another Maryland community college. Each community college has a pre-determined number of nominations available. One of those nominees can be a part-time student. Nominations through community colleges are only available for students who are beginning in the fall 2011 semester.
