Apply for the MSU Annual Scholarship Before It’s Too Late!

by

The MSU Annual Scholarship deadline has been extended to April 1, 2024.

 

Missouri State University offers nearly 1,000 donor-funded scholarships that students may apply for through one application: MSU Annual Scholarship Application. Donor funded scholarships are privately donated gifts to the University by individuals, groups, or companies. These scholarships are awarded to students based on a wide range of criteria including major, high school attended, outstanding academic achievement, leadership, and/or financial need. Search for Foundation Scholarships and review the eligibility criteria using the Scholarship Search.

 

There is still time to submit the MSU Annual Scholarship for scholarships being awarded in the 2024-2025 academic year. The deadline has been extended to April 1, 2024. To access and submit the application follow the steps below:

  1. Log into your My Missouri State account.
  2. Locate your “Financial Aid & Scholarships” card.
  3. Complete your Financial Aid e-Agree (if you have not already done so).
  4. Select the MSU Foundation Scholarships link to complete and submit your application.

If you have questions about a particular scholarship, please contact the MSU Foundation at FNDScholarships@MissouriState.edu or contact the Office of Financial Aid for more details.

Introducing ReUp Education

by

We would like to introduce a new initiative that will soon launch to help re-enroll Missouri State University stop-out students who haven’t enrolled at another institution or completed a degree. We have partnered with ReUp Education to engage our stop-out students.

ReUp Success Coaches will be performing active outreach to stop-out students from our institution to encourage them to return and complete their degree or credential. While the goal is to encourage undergraduate students to return to our institution, it is also possible that we will see some additional transfer student activity as well as a result of these efforts. These coaches provide personalized support designed to help adult learners thrive in higher education by:

  • Offering 1:1 conversations by phone, email, or text
  • Exploring educational and career goals and developing personalized plans
  • Connecting students with resources and support to take the next step in their return

As our students begin to re-engage with our university, they may refer to their ReUp Success Coach when working with you and your teams. Thus, we wanted you to be aware of these efforts before they begin.

We greatly appreciate your support and welcome any questions you may have regarding this pilot program. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions: AdultStudentServices@MissouriState.edu.

Thank you in advance for you assistance in welcoming our students back to Missouri State University!
