Eagle Scout Scholarship

The Eagle Scout Scholarship is a one-year merit-based award offered by Mississippi State University to recognize and support incoming freshman students who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. The scholarship provides $2,000 to students who have demonstrated leadership and commitment through their participation in Scouting America. This award is specifically designed for first-time entering freshmen who have attained the level of Eagle Scout by the time of enrollment at MSU. The scholarship amount is disbursed equally over two semesters during the student's first year at Mississippi State University. Recipients must maintain a minimum GPA requirement and submit both the General Scholarship Application and the specific Eagle Scout Scholarship application through the university's scholarship portal, including verification of their Eagle Scout status through official documentation from Scouting America.
