The Jack Kent Cooke Transfer Scholarship Application Is Now Live!

The Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship is now open! The application will remain open until January 9, 2025.

For the past several years, NOVA has been honored to have several Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship  Finalists, who each receive up to $55,000 per academic year for up to three years to complete their bachelor’s degree at an accredited four-year institution in the United States. Finalists also receive individualized advising through the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, access to a vast network of JKC alumni, and other opportunities for leadership and service.

The application process is highly competitive, and in 2024 more than 1,600 applications were received. The applications were reviewed and 459 semifinalists chosen (of which NOVA had 11!). 60 finalists were then selected to receive the JKC Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship, of which NOVA had two finalists this past academic year.

The application process for this highly competitive and prestigious award is extensive, and NOVA is grateful to our faculty and staff who support our applicants throughout the process. Each of NOVA’s campuses has a Jack Kent Cooke point of contact, answers questions about the application process, promotes the program and helps guide students through the application. We are grateful to the following faculty and staff for serving this year as points of contact for their campus:

We encourage our faculty and staff to promote this opportunity to their students throughout the academic year. This year, NOVA will also host several webinars in the fall to promote the program and help students understand the criteria and application process. Please be on the lookout for those opportunities as well and attend these webinars to learn more!
