Exclusive Benefits for WPI Transfer Partner Schools

Students from any college or university can transfer to WPI and expect clear guidance and support. But only students transferring from our partner schools get these added benefits. 

Receive a $20,000 transfer scholarship. 

Transfer students admitted from a partner school are guaranteed the WPI Transfer Partner Student Scholarship, valued at a minimum of $20,000 each year for up to four years. You may also combine this scholarship with additional aid. 

Streamline your admission. 

Transfer students from partner institutions are guaranteed admission when they meet the requirements of our transfer agreement. 

Focus on your future. 

Follow a built-in framework that tells you exactly which courses transfer, how your credits apply to your chosen program, and what steps you can take now to stay on track. 

Save time and money. 

Complete the recommended background courses for a WPI degree—mapped out in each partnership’s official transfer guide—at your community college or two-year program. Then, once you’re here, take the specialized, upper-level STEM courses only available at WPI.
