SPRINGFIELD – If you left Missouri State University before completing your degree, you may be eligible for the new Return to Finish (RTF) scholarship.

MSU created the scholarship to encourage students to finish a degree program.

“Life circumstances often creep up on students and interfere with the completion of a degree program,” said Provost Frank Einhellig. “But the goal to finish lives on and is attainable. Finishing one’s degree program is a foundation to opening new doors of opportunity, so we want to give students a boost toward their goals.”

What the RTF scholarship provides

Former students may be eligible for the scholarship when they apply for fall 2020 or spring 2021 semesters.

The scholarship offers:

  • $200 for students enrolling in 3-5 credit hours.
  • Or $500 for students enrolling in 6 or more credit hours.

The maximum award for the year is $500.

  • Owe less than $1,000 to Missouri State.
