Scholarship Information:

At Mississippi State, our scholarships are as diverse as you are. We look beyond your GPA and ACT to see if you have been involved with any other activities that may qualify you for a scholarship. Scholarships also recognize students for leadership and volunteer roles, even work experience. Complete your resume and optimize your opportunities. When you complete your admissions application, fill out the online scholarship resume that details your awards, honors, leadership and volunteer roles, as well as your work experience. If you've already applied, go to [|admissions.msstate.edu/apply] and log in to complete your scholarship resume. That's all you need to be in the running for university-wide scholarships. Be sure to ask the college or division where you're enrolling about department-based scholarships for which you may be eligible. Time counts. Apply by the appropriate priority date to make the most of your opportunities. Applications and resumes received after the priority date will be considered on a competitive and funds-available basis.
