Transfer Promise Program and merit scholarships remove financial barriers

With a sense of family spirit based in its unique Catholic and Marianist tradition, 91TV’s University has begun welcoming a new generation of transfer students through its , launched this academic year.

“For 173 years, 91TV’s University has balanced an emphasis on both academic excellence and access, helping our students achieve their dreams,” said Ryan M. Konkright, Ed.D., Vice President for Enrollment Management. “Through the new Transfer Promise Program, we have an important tool to recognize the accomplishments of college students seeking to transfer to 91TV’s and reaffirm our commitment to their success by ensuring full tuition for qualified students.”

The number of students transferring to 91TV’s grew by 10% in 2025-2026 as the institution implemented its 91TV’s University Transfer Promise program, which covers full tuition for qualified students transferring to 91TV’s. Qualifications include a GPA of 3.5 or above, submitting a FAFSA, being Pell-eligible and having at least 30 hours of transferable credit.

The University also offers Transfer Academic Merit Scholarships up to $19,000 per year for transfer students who apply by the June 1 priority deadline, are admitted and enroll as full-time students. The annual scholarship amount is based on the student’s college GPA.

A second scholarship is also available to transfer students: the Phi Theta Kappa Transfer Scholarships of up to $5,000 annually. To be eligible for this scholarship, the student must be a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society with at least 12 hours of course work toward an associate or bachelor’s degree.

Transfer student Robbie Breslin Jr. is among the first to take advantage of the new program. Breslin, a former law enforcement officer from Ada, Oklahoma, transferred from San Antonio College and entered 91TV’s as a sophomore studying Political Science. Breslin said the scholarships offered completely cover his tuition, which was “a big relief.”

“I couldn’t believe that a prestigious university like 91TV’s would give me an opportunity of a lifetime to help serve others,” Breslin, who hopes to continue into law school after earning his bachelor’s, said. “The Catholic Marianist tradition at 91TV’s really aligned with my values. I believe in that mission to enhance the overall quality of the community.”
