MTSU Awards $5,000 in Transfer Scholarships to Support Students

Southwest Tennessee Community College is proud to announce that Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) has awarded our students a $5,000 transfer scholarship for the Fall 2026 semester.

This generous award—the largest scholarship announced at the Memphis True Blue Counselor’s Luncheon—was presented by Dr. Sidney A. McPhee, president of MTSU.

The scholarship funds may be awarded as a single $5,000 award or divided into five $1,000 scholarships, expanding opportunities for multiple students to benefit.

The luncheon was a wonderful opportunity to connect with MTSU leaders, strengthen transfer pathways, and celebrate the success of our students.

Southwest will host MTSU Transfer Day in February, where students can:

• Complete admission applications
• Meet directly with MTSU representatives
• Learn more about transfer pathways
• Qualify for transfer scholarships

Southwest is grateful for this partnership with MTSU and looks forward to seeing students continue their academic journeys.
