To be eligible for this tuition guarantee as a transfer student, you must have a 3.5. cumulative GPA from your college level work completed after high school, have residency in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut, and file a FAFSA resulting in a Student Aid Index (SAI) at or below “100000.”
Who is not eligible?

Find Success in Our Welcoming, Inclusive Community
When I was deciding where to transfer, I knew Adelphi was the school for me. Coming to campus, I immediately felt that this is where I had belonged my whole life. The warm and welcoming community on campus made me feel that this is where I needed to be…Luckily, because of all the programs Adelphi has to offer, I got involved and made many bonds that will last forever…Without Adelphi, I would not be the person I am today. I am so grateful for Adelphi and all of the people and experiences this school gave me.

An Adelphi Education: Expect Extraordinary
Coming to Adelphi was an amazing experience. I immediately felt welcome and made some new friends. I was comfortable going to professors for help when needed. I now have many lasting relationships both professionally and socially and I am President of the Criminal Justice Club, facilitated a Clothing Boutique to give professional clothing to students in need and am co-chair of the Activism club. Adelphi has given me so much, and I can never thank Adelphi enough.
