Additional Information

  • This scholarship cannot be combined with other university scholarships.
  • Scholarship Enrollment and Renewal Standards :
    • Enrollment standards:
      • During semesters that students are receiving scholarships, they must be full time (i.e., enrolled in at least 12 credit hours per semester during fall and spring semesters). Scholarship recipients generally need to complete more than 12 credit hours per semester in order to meet renewal criteria and should refer to their scholarship acceptance form for details regarding those criteria.
      • Students who are in their semester of graduation at MSU and taking all courses needed to fulfill graduation requirements are exempt from the full-time enrollment requirement if they complete and submit the Exemption from Full-Time Enrollment form and return it to the Office of Student Financial Aid.
      • Students may apply their MSU scholarships to education abroad programs approved by the Office of Education Abroad and should confer with the Office of Education Abroad and the Office of Student Financial Aid to coordinate their plans.
      • Students who wish to place their scholarships on hold to participate in internships or life-enriching experiences should contact the Office of Student Financial Aid for information and assistance.
      • Graduate courses taken by undergraduates (i.e., for mixed credit in accelerated master’s programs and senior permission) are included in determining if students are full-time. Additionally, the credit hours and grades from those courses are used in determining if students meet renewal criteria.
      • Scholarship values will not be adjusted based on the cost of course(s) taken by a student.

    • Renewal standards:

      • Students have a full academic year (fall, spring and summer) to meet scholarship renewal criteria.
      • Students receiving the Presidential Scholarship who do not meet renewal criteria for that scholarship but who do meet criteria for the Board of Governors Scholarship may downgrade to that scholarship. Service hours must be completed to downgrade.
      • Credit earned through MSU dual credit or dual enrollment is not considered in determining whether students meet the credit hour requirements for scholarship renewal.
      • The credit hours and grades from graduate courses taken by undergraduates (i.e. mixed credit and senior permission) are used in determining if students meet renewal criteria.
      • Students with renewable scholarships that require 27 or more credit hours per year may "bank" hours earned during one academic year for use in future years
