Transfer Students and PEOPLE Scholarship
PEOPLE and ITA students who are admitted for transfer to UW-Madison are eligible to access their PEOPLE scholarship. Only students who were in good standing with their respective precollege program will be eligible for the scholarship. The PEOPLE scholarship does not cover online degree programs.

PEOPLE Pre-Transfer Advising Interest Form
Were you an ITA or PEOPLE precollege Scholar interested in transferring to UW-Madison? Looking to explore your options, learn more about UW-Madison’s transfer requirements, or just generally chat about your future plans? This form is the place to start. Once you submit it, you can expect to hear back from Alex Hopp, PEOPLE’s College Success Specialist, within a week to set up an advising appointment.
UW-Madison Transfer Agreements
If you’re still deciding where to go but know that you eventually want to transfer to UW-Madison, you may want to consider attending an institution with an existing transfer agreement. These college and universities provide guaranteed admission to UW-Madison if certain conditions are met; however, each transfer agreement is a little different, so it pays to read carefully as you think about your future plans!
UW-Madison Transfer Application Information
If you’re ready to apply to UW-Madison or want to get an advanced look at what the application process will entail, you should take a look at UW’s transfer application process and requirements. Remember, while the transfer process can feel overwhelming, you have a whole community here at PEOPLE excited about helping you find your way to UW-Madison, so you won’t need to do it alone!
Transferology Website
Transferology is a free resource that allows you to look up exactly how the courses at your institution will transfer to UW-Madison. While you should still consult with an advisor before finalizing your schedule if you plan on transferring, this is a great place to start and to double check that you’re on the right path. You will need to create an account to use this resource, but doing so is free and only takes a couple of minutes.
The scholarship will be prorated according to the number of transfer credits accepted by the university.
9-18 credits = 1 semester (eligible for 7 semesters)
19-36 credits = 2 semesters (eligible for 6 semesters)
37-54 credits = 3 semesters (eligible for 5 semesters)
55-72 credits = 4 semesters (eligible for 4 semesters)
73-90 credits = 5 semesters (eligible for 3 semesters)
91- 108 credits = 6 semesters (eligible for 2 semesters)
109-126 credits = 7 semesters (eligible for 1 semesters)
Scholars who take classes at another university after enrolling in UW-Madison, such as participating in a non-university study abroad program or taking classes not covered by the PEOPLE scholarship, will not have those credits counted against their scholarship balance.
