Transfer Admissions and Financial Aid

Prospective students who have attended a regionally accredited college or university after graduating from high school and have never attended Wingate University previously should apply for admission as a transfer applicant.

We recommend incoming transfer students carry at least a 2.5 cumulative college GPA. Prospective students must also be in good standing and eligible to return to the last school attended.

Wingate University operates on rolling admissions. This means that applications are accepted throughout the year, without specific application deadlines.

To best prepare you for a smooth and successful transition into Wingate, we recommend that all application materials be submitted at least one month prior to classes starting. 

Transfer students admitted to Wingate University will be offered a merit scholarship based on their cumulative college GPA. The amount of an applicant’s scholarship award will be listed on the acceptance letter. These scholarships range from $15,000 to $21,000 per year.
