To qualify for scholarships, you must first apply and be accepted for admission. Application forms are available on-line at http://www.missouristate.edu/apply.htm, from the Missouri State Office of Admissions, and also from Missouri high schools. Your application must be received by the deadline specified for each scholarship description for consideration. In general the application deadline for fall applicants is MARCH 1, and the deadline for spring applicants is OCTOBER 1. You must also meet the specific requirements outlined below.
If, after you apply, your ACT/SAT score, class rank, and/or GPA changes, you may be considered for other scholarships. However, the February ACT is the last score accepted for freshman scholarships (excluding the Presidential and the Centennial which use an earlier date).
Class percentile or GPA is based on the 6th or 7th semester, whichever is higher. Missouri State gladly accepts weighted averages as consideration for scholarships. Students must have a diploma from a high school accredited by the state education agency, a regional accrediting association or a homeschool diploma with the 17 unit core curriculum requirement established by the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education. Students admitted as exceptions to the high school core curriculum requirement may not receive scholarships unless approved by the Scholarship Committee.
