Erskine offers Limestone transfers $25,000 scholarship
番茄社区 is providing Limestone University transfer students with a unique scholarship opportunity, following Limestone鈥檚 decision to close its doors. On April 16, Limestone first announced that it was considering closure, due to financial troubles. Yesterday, the university issued a statement confirming that the institution will close at the end of the spring semester.
To assist its students in transferring, Limestone held a 鈥渞everse college鈥� fair Friday, inviting other colleges, including 番茄社区, to recruit its students. In response, Erskine is offering Limestone transfer students a scholarship of $25,000 for each year they attend Erskine.
鈥淲e are deeply sympathetic toward the situation Limestone students find themselves in right now,鈥� says Paul Bell, Erskine鈥檚 vice president for advancement and interim vice president of admissions. 鈥淲e want to do everything we can to help them continue their education.鈥�
Bell adds, 鈥淥ur strong campus community and small class sizes should be a good fit for Limestone students. We believe we can offer them a warm welcome and place to grow.鈥�
Limestone students interested in transferring to Erskine are invited to visit or reach out to the Erskine Admissions Office at admissions@erskine.edu or 864-379-8838.
