Alumni of the Last Three Years (ALTY) Scholarship 

• Last three graduate credits at no cost.
• Undergraduate credits applied to master's degrees (based on major and graduate degree).
• Expedited graduate admission decision for recent undergraduate alumni.
• Graduate application fee waived
• Priority consideration for TA/GA positions.

• Eligibility will be verified by the graduate school.
• ALTY Scholars still enrolled in the undergraduate college must complete their bachelor's before the scholarship can be awarded. Please note that admission into the graduate school is contingent upon receipt of your final official transcript from the undergraduate college, which must confirm your degree conferral date. Additionally, your final cumulative GPA must meet or exceed the GPA considered at the time of admission.
• ALTY Scholars must begin their program of study within 36 months (3 academic years) after their graduation or sooner.  An applicant may defer their program start beyond the 36-month period, but they will no longer be eligible for the ALTY tuition waiver. All other degree progress policies apply as outlined in the College Catalog.
• It is the student’s responsibility to complete the ALTY Tuition Waiver Form prior to their final graduate semester with the appropriate signatures. Failure to do so will not result in a retroactive credit, nor cash paid out.
• The ALTY tuition waiver can only be used by eligible students in good academic standing and without any holds on their account.
• The ALTY scholarship provides a tuition waiver for the final 3 credits in a graduate program. It does not cover the comprehensive, textbook, nor other fees associated with that final course.
• The ALTY tuition waiver is a one-time benefit that cannot be combined with any other scholarships, nor does it have a cash value.
• Be sure to check if this scholarship impacts your loan status or package with our Financial Aid Office.
