The program recognizes that transfer students contribute to the 黑料专区 community by bringing not only the academic rigor of their work at their first colleges but also a wealth of life-experience that is distinct from that of traditional four-year college students.<\/p>\n<p>In order to help our students to maintain scholarly momentum from their first colleges, to embark on high-level, individualized research, and to ask the big questions that they want to ask of their respective fields, the THP offers financial and academic support to its members. Students receive scholarships at two levels, half tuition and full tuition (NY resident tuition rate), for the four-semester duration of their studies at 黑料专区. And we provide dedicated academic advising, early registration for courses, and priority consideration for competitive majors and honors programs.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/LzSua1i7vhE?si=sa4Cj8tJEaDUtzgr&#8221; src_webm=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/LzSua1i7vhE?si=sa4Cj8tJEaDUtzgr&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; src__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; src__hover=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/LzSua1i7vhE?si=sa4Cj8tJEaDUtzgr&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn More About The Transfer Honors Program <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qc.cuny.edu\/academics\/ohs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/07\/THP-Brochure_App-Updated-June-2025-1.pdf\">Here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][lwp_image_carousel gallery_ids=&#8221;10760,10761,10762,10763,10765,11274,10767&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Image Carousel&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/lwp_image_carousel][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">We are now accepting applicants for Fall 2026 admission<\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">The priority deadline for Fall 2026 is February 1; applications received after this date will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the cohort is full<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;277.6px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|auto|-37px|auto||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left\">IMPORTANT INFORMATION<span style=\"color: #000000\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<h6>Priority Deadline<\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Fall Entry: February 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Applications received after this date will be reviewed on a rolling basis.<\/p>\n<h6><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Applicants must have an active CUNY login to complete the application.
