This is from the 2011-12 NCAA Transfer Guide:

"If you transfer from a two-year school and do not meet the transfer requirements, or you transfer from a four-year school, whether you are an international or domestic student-athlete, this basic transfer rule applies to you:

"You must spend one academic year in residence at your new school before you are eligible to compete."

In other words, the way I understand it, the NCAA doesn't care if you're on scholarship or not. The issue is whether you're transferring from one four-year school to another — in theory, regardless of whether you were playing a sport at your original school.
