"We've increased the amount of transfer scholarships in order to reduce the amount of loans that transfer students would need," Kenny Lawson, transfer coordinator and men's golf coach, said.
As cost of tuition increased, the number of transfer students began to decrease. There needed to be a greater emphasis on financial aid for the students, Lawson said. The increase in transfer scholarships is expected to help students in the transition process.
"I want to make transferring to CU easier for all students," Lawson said.
The transfer scholarship increase will start at the beginning of the fall 2015 semester.
