Transfer Students
At WPI, we recognize that the cost of a private university education represents a significant investment for WPI students and their families, but it is one we're confident will bring many benefits and rewards. Financial aid at WPI draws on the combined resources of the student, their family (if applicable), federal and state resources, and WPI itself.
Beginning with transfer students admitted for fall 2024, merit scholarships and need-based aid will be available for both domestic & international, full-time undergraduate transfer students. Part-time students are not eligible for WPI merit or need-based funding, though part-time domestic students may be eligible for federal and/or state financial aid funding.
All students applying to WPI are automatically evaluated for merit-based scholarships. After you submit your application for admission to WPI, your next step is to file your Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form to determine your eligibility for federal aid and the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile to determine your eligibility for WPI-funded financial assistance.
You will also need the following codes to submit your forms online:
- FAFSA: WPI school code 002233
- CSS Profile: WPI school code 3969

Merit-Based Scholarship Opportunities
Academic Merit Scholarships
All admitted transfer candidates are automatically evaluated for academic merit scholarships based on college level academic performance specifically, as well as professional and learning pursuits, leadership experiences, and extracurricular involvements. These scholarships vary in amounts and are renewable for up to four years.
Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship
WPI will award all Phi Theta Kappa Scholars a $10,000 scholarship per academic year on top of any additional academic merit scholarships. All accepted transfer PTK scholars will automatically be considered—no additional application or materials are necessary, but please be certain to note in your WPI Application that you are a PTK scholar. Part-time students and students with previous baccalaureate degrees are not eligible. Candidates must have submitted their completed application by the transfer application deadline. The Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship is offered to admitted transfer candidates only.
