Afford

Admitted transfer students are automatically considered for academic scholarships. And with our Gustie Guarantee, we’ll give you a minimum of $25,000 in scholarship if you’re admitted and file the FAFSA. Transfer students may also be eligible to receive a Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship if enrolling from a community college. If your family is not eligible to submit the FAFSA (due to citizenship status, for example), you must complete and submit the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE to be considered for need-based financial aid.

 

Credit Transfer

We recognize the significant efforts you've invested in your education so far. Because of this, we accept up to 64 credits to be transferred, ensuring that your hard-earned accomplishments contribute to your degree at Gustavus. Additionally, we accept the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, allowing you to build on your previous coursework and fulfill general education requirements with confidence. Check how your coursework will transfer using Transferology.

 

Whether you have questions about our application, need assistance with transfer credit evaluations, or are seeking support in any aspect of your application, we are here for you. Please contact KP Pauly (call/text 507-933-6171) with any questions. 

 

To those considering a transfer, start emailing people and asking questions. Introduce yourself to the admissions office, talk to any students you already know, and look into activity groups on campus. In my experience, faculty and students love talking about the school and are very welcoming to new people.
