College of Communication & Information Sciences

The C&IS Transfer Student Success Fund is dedicated to empowering transfer students enrolled in the College of Communication and Information Sciences by providing critical resources to support their journey toward becoming successful graduates and future communication leaders. Through the generosity of donors, the fund helps bridge the gap for transfer students as the transition into UA, equipping them with the financial assistance and hands-on opportunities needed to excel in their studies and prepare for impactful careers. 

Whether through internships, leadership programs, or innovative learning experiences, the C&IS Transfer Student Success Fund is committed to fostering a community of “Legendary Makers” who leave a lasting mark in their fields and beyond.

With gifts ranging from $5-$150, C&IS Transfer Students will gain assistance with fees and purchasing textbooks or additional course materials. These gifts will also help students cover the cost of membership dues to allow them the opportunity to join professional organizations. 

Gifts ranging from $150-$300 can help C&IS Transfer Students gain experience through assistance with small tuition and fees balance relief that may otherwise prevent them from registering for classes.

And gifts ranging from $300-$500 will give C&IS Transfer Students financial assistance to explore careers in advertising, journalism, film and other communication fields through Industry Immersion trips, study abroad experiences, conferences, student film funding, and other hands-on experiences that can enhance their professional portfolio.
