East Tennessee State University adds $2,000 to $4,000 a year for international transfer students in F-1 status who belong to the Phi Theta Kappa honour society and hold a grade average of at least 3.5.
Its value is that it stacks with the university's Blue, Gold and Elite merit tiers, so a strong transfer student can hold both. It follows the same renewal conditions.
Unlike the merit tiers, this one needs a separate application with proof of membership.
