"We encourage all prospective and returning students to submit the 2015-16 MSU Scholarship and Award Program Application to be considered for the wide variety of scholarship options available at MSU and submit the 2015-16 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 1 to be considered for the best possible state and federal student aid options," said Laurie Weber, financial aid director.
Numerous scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, extracurricular activities, community involvement, leadership, and service and legacy. New freshmen and transfer students can apply for the Great Plains Exceptional Scholar Award, which offers full tuition for four consecutive years to students meeting the scholarship requirements.
