The
Transfer Achievement Grant is available for eligible Arizona residents starting Fall 2026 who transfer from any Arizona community college and have a family income up to $120,000 determined by the
FAFSA. There is
no application for this award.
This award provides funding up to $4500 per semester for up to 6 total semesters. The amount of the grant will depend on the students eligibility for other grants and scholarships.

ASU’s Transfer Achievement Grant is renewable up to six total semesters (including summer semesters). To continue receiving the scholarship, students must enroll full-time, complete a FAFSA every year that demonstrates continued eligibility and maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students who fall below SAP requirements may submit a SAP review to Financial Aid and Scholarship Services.
