Cleveland – With a recent increase of financial contributions, Cleveland State is offering a special, one-time scholarship of $1,000 to all qualifying students who transfer to CSU for the upcoming spring semester. The offer will be granted above and beyond all other scholarships and grants to which a student may be entitled.

To qualify students must have between 30 to 89 credit hours from another university and a GPA of at least 3.0. Students must register for 12 credit hours or more by Jan. 13, 2012. Classes begin Jan. 14.
