Scholarship details
This scholarship is from a college located in New Jersey, the Felician University operates as a private health institution. Since 2015, there have been only two widely used campuses. However, each is located in a different city but still located in the state of New Jersey. Originally the first name used to present the school was the Normal School by the Felician Sisters who discovered it in 1923. The name of this institution has been changed a number of times.
Felician University may be located in New Jersey but it’s less than 20 miles away from one of the biggest cities in the world, New York City.
The University operates in two areas within New Jersey where students can attend in-person and on-campus classes. There are actually multiple universities operated by the Felician institution and this one just so happens to be 1 of 25 or more. For more than a decade, the Normal School trained in-service teachers and qualified them for state certification.
During the year 1935, the Normal School was raised to the status of a teacher training college approved by and affiliated with the University of America. The students who belonged to a religious order completed a maximum of seventy-two semester hours of their undergraduate work at the College and then transferred to the University of America, Seton Hall, or Fordham Universities.
It would not be until 1967 that this private college would actually reference itself as Felician University, where the institution promptly became a four-year graduate center.
As a matter of fact, women make up more than half (around 75%) of the student population, with more than 65 different field studies for students to major in.

Deadline
While the school has different deadline dates for underclassmen, undergraduates, and others. The official deadline date for transfer students is separated into two seasons. The first Fall semester deadline date is July 1, 2022. And the second is the Winter approaching seasons where the deadline date falls on December 1, 2022. So there is still plenty of time to apply.
As always, students should note that deadline dates are always subject to change or extension. If a student needs extra time, simply contact admissions or the phone number provided to see if an extension can be granted.

There are two timelines available for students who wish to attend in the Fall or the Winter semesters. This is up to the student to decide on which one would work best for them. If they are not yet close to having 12 credits or more before applying, then waiting would be the better option.
