Clinton, SC – Presbyterian College is stepping up to provide crucial support to students affected by the recent closures of Limestone University and St. Andrews University. The college has introduced guaranteed merit scholarships ranging from $20,000 to $25,000 for those transferring to its programs.
To facilitate a smooth transition for these students, Presbyterian College has developed a streamlined transfer process that includes several key features aimed at reducing barriers to entry. This process will have no application fee and will offer an expedited admissions process along with priority transcript evaluation. Although students must apply and be accepted for scholarship consideration, those who are members of Phi Theta Kappa will receive an additional $2,000 scholarship on top of their merit-based awards.
Dr. Brandon Vinson, the vice president for enrollment management, has indicated that the college has established a dedicated support team to assist these students during their transition. The goal is to ensure that displaced students find continuity in their education as they move to Presbyterian College.
The president of the college, Anita Gustafson, has underscored the importance of community and support during this challenging time for students impacted by the closures. To aid in this effort, Presbyterian College has launched a Transfer Gateway website that serves as a comprehensive resource for prospective students, guiding them through the application and transition process.
With over 90 majors, minors, and pre-professional programs offered, Presbyterian College emphasizes personalized attention within small class sizes. This small, focused environment supports academic growth and offers tailored mentorship opportunities for students.
Students interested in this opportunity can navigate the streamlined application process, which allows for the submission of transcripts for priority evaluation. Additionally, they will need to complete the FAFSA to assess their financial aid options and may also arrange campus tours to familiarize themselves with the college setting.
For further details, students are encouraged to visit the Transfer Gateway website or reach out to the Office of Admissions for personalized assistance. These resources aim to ensure that all displaced students from Limestone University and St. Andrews University have the opportunity to continue their education without interruption.
The closures of Limestone University, which recently ceased operations, followed closely by the announcement of St. Andrews University’s closure, has left many students seeking new educational opportunities. Presbyterian College’s proactive approach to implementing supportive measures demonstrates a commitment to education and community service during these transitional times, allowing students to pivot successfully to their next academic chapter.
This initiative aids not only in the immediate transitions but also contributes positively to the academic landscape in the region. The emphasis on making the transfer process as accessible and welcoming as possible reflects ongoing efforts in higher education to prioritize student welfare and success amid challenging circumstances.
