The deadline for the MSU Foundation Scholarship application is fast approaching on March 1! With just one application, you can unlock nearly 1,000 scholarship opportunities.

Donor funded scholarships are privately donated funds that are given to Missouri State students each year. The funds come from private gifts to the University made by individuals, groups or companies. They are awarded to students based on a wide range of criteria: major, high school attended, outstanding academic achievement, leadership and/or financial need.
