#AskAScholar: Will my scholarship carry over from undergraduate to graduate school?

Written by teampoint | November 10, 2015

David asks:    

I am currently a junior at university and I am applying for this scholarship for my senior year. My question is, if I am applying to medical school next year, would the scholarship would transfer from undergraduate to graduate school?

Wells Fargo Point Scholar Marcus Lee answers:

Point Scholarships support the entirety or remainder of one undergraduate or graduate program, depending on the time of your award. If you are selected to be a Point Scholar this year, your funding will cover the final year of your undergraduate program, but not carry over to your medical school. If you would like to be a Point Scholar for your medical school, you are more than welcome to apply again next year. Point supported me during my undergraduate program, and is currently supporting me as I work towards my Ph.D!
