Financial Aid
Milligan honors a rolling admission policy, which means the admission committee will consider applications throughout the year, as long as space is available.
We encourage students to apply early for maximum scholarship and financial aid consideration. Also please note there are some academic and scholarship programs with specific dates and deadlines.
Academic Transfer Scholarship
Transfer students may qualify for merit-based academic scholarships ranging from $7,500 to $19,000 per year based on their cumulative transfer GPA. Use the Net Price Calculator to estimate your scholarship eligibility and overall cost of attendance. Contact the Admissions Office with any questions about transfer scholarships or the transfer admission process.
Note: Academic transfer scholarships may not be combined with athletic scholarships.
Milligan participates in the Tennessee Transfer Pathways program, whereby students completing associate degree programs in certain programs at Tennessee community colleges can transition seamlessly to Milligan University as a junior.
We also have an A.A./A.S. Transfer Agreement with Tennessee Community Colleges that helps Transfers meet Milligan’s general education requirements.
Steps to Apply
Apply for free!
Complete and submit your official application. Our application for Fall 2027 is FREE.
Interested in Nursing? All prospective transfer students must apply via NursingCAS.
Request that a copy of your transcript from all previous college work be sent to Milligan. (If you have earned 24 or less college credit hours, we also need your high school transcript.) Electronic transcripts through Parchment and other online services accepted.
If you’ve earned less than 24 college credit hours, request that official ACT, SAT-I, or CLT scores be sent directly to Milligan (ACT code: 3996, SAT-I code: 1469).
References will be required from transfer students with a cumulative transfer GPA of 2.5 or below. One academic reference and one church/character reference will be required. You will be notified if these are required of you.
Next Steps
AFTER YOU APPLY, your Admissions Recruiter will communicate with you regularly about your application file and status. Admission decisions are usually made within two weeks of application. If you qualify for an Academic Scholarship, you’ll find that out right away, too.
