MTSU/Motlow Presidents Sign Agreement

Administrators at Motlow State Community College and Middle Tennessee State University recently took steps to further develop the relationship between the two schools by signing a Memorandum of Understanding at Motlow’s Smyrna campus. The cooperative agreement directly benefits qualifying Motlow graduates who transfer to MTSU to obtain their bachelor’s degree.
A highlight of the agreement is the creation of a “MTSU Promise” scholarship for Motlow students who complete their studies and then successfully transition to MTSU to complete their bachelor’s degree. Through its existing Guaranteed Transfer Scholarship Program, MTSU will guarantee admission and provide transferring Motlow students with $3,000 per year for two years, or a maximum of four semesters, based on reaching and keeping a minimum 3.0 GPA.
Motlow transfer students will not be eligible to apply to receive the Guaranteed Transfer Scholarship until they complete 45 credit hours at Motlow.
Motlow currently provides MTSU more degree-seeking transfer students than any other source, according to officials at the university.
