Having their excellence recognized is not new for Missouri State University students in the College of Natural and Applied Sciences. 

Recently, 12 high-achieving computer science students received over $13,000 in scholarships from the Missouri State Foundation. 

“Each student has shown exceptional talent and determination and seeing their efforts recognized and rewarded is heartening,” said Dr. Ajay Katangur, department head of computer science at MSU. “These scholarships will propel them to explore, innovate and contribute to our dynamic field’s wealth of knowledge and technology.”
