Jack Kent Cooke Scholars possess exceptional academic records and demonstrate unmet financial need. At a minimum, each candidate for the Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship must:

• Be nominated by his or her community college or other two-year institution for the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship Program (the Foundation does not accept applications directly from students)
• Be a current student at an accredited US community college or two-year institution with sophomore or recent graduate within the last 5 years
• Plan to enroll in a full-time baccalaureate program at an accredited college or university in the fall of 2010
• Have a cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale (or the equivalent)
• Not have previously been nominated for the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship.

Only the Foundation’s Faculty Representative at your two-year college can nominate students. Faculty Representatives verify the applicant's eligibility and academic status, and are responsible for the complete and timely submission of the online nomination and all supporting documents by the deadline.

Applicants are requested to submit an online application and the required copies of supporting documents. The applicants should coordinate their efforts with the faculty representative to ensure that the complete nomination is submitted and supporting documents package is received no later than January 26, 2010. Faculty representatives must submit supporting documents in one packet, directly to the Foundation’s processing center.

Students may not apply directly to the Foundation for this scholarship. All applicants for the Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship Program must be nominated by the Foundation’s Faculty Representative at their two-year institutions.
