Undergraduate spring 2025 transfer students who enroll in Summer Term 2025 are eligible to automatically receive an award. All spring 2025 transfer students are eligible to receive the award, but must maintain satisfactory academic progress. Sound too good to be true? It’s not. In a 2015 survey, your peers said they were interested in taking advantage of Summer Term but weren’t able to enroll because they lacked funds for tuition. We introduced the UW–Madison Transfer Scholars Summer Award as part of our commitment to helping students reduce their time to degree and debt burden.
*Please note Spring 2025 transfer students are not eligible to also receive the Undergraduate Scholarship for Summer Study or Summer Internship Scholarship in addition to the Transfer Scholars Award.
Top reasons to attend Summer Term
The summer classroom: an archaeological dig, Bascom Hill or your living room. No matter what format, you get an outstanding UW–Madison experience.
It’s actually less expensive to complete your degree in four years with two Summer Terms, rather than taking a fifth year. Scholarships are available to help with any unanticipated costs.
Lighten your load now and have more time for internships or other opportunities down the line.
Push yourself in a challenging class or get a jump on one of our most in-demand courses.
We’ve got you covered: No apartment? No job? No problem! Housing and employment are available on campus in the summer.
