10 News learned how the program will ease the transfer process for students while also keeping education affordable for families.

“We joined the commonwealth of Virginia in trying to avoid a brain drain from the state and we are doing our part through this Tartan transfer because we are committed to keeping students local,” said Dr. Danette Gomez Beane, the vice president for enrollment management and strategic communication for Radford University. “We want those folks to stay here and activate this community and to give back their talents and grow their own hometowns.”
