Decision sheet
South Carolina · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer
The starting point
Newberry publishes a clear transfer-merit promise ($9,000-$15,000 with just a 2.0 GPA) but discloses no freshman merit grid on its website — first-year merit amounts surface only in individual aid estimate letters.
Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.
Awards to discuss
The 1 award in this school's research. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.
Transfer Merit-Based Institutional Scholarships
$9,000-$15,000 · Published range
Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.
GPA: 2.0 cumulative transfer GPA minimum; amount based upon cumulative credit and GPA
Eligibility: Transfer students; submit official transcripts for all current and previously attended colleges; students with fewer than 24 college credit hours must also submit high school transcripts.
Renewal: 2.0 GPA required to renew scholarship.
Other terms: Page states 'The minimum amount of aid you can receive is $9,000' for transfers. No application beyond admission is described, but the page does not state the award is automatic, so automaticOnStats is false.

Ask before you decide
- Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
- What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
- How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?

The research date is not a guarantee that a policy still applies. Confirm current amounts, deadlines and conditions with the school before making a financial decision.
