About This Opportunity

The National Merit Semi-Finalist Scholarship Package is awarded to entering freshmen who have been named a National Merit Semi-Finalist by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. This comprehensive scholarship package provides $48,000 over four years ($12,000 per year) and is renewable annually up to 8 semesters at MSU based on overall college GPA. Non-resident students may also receive a Non-Resident Tuition Scholarship to cover 100% of the non-resident portion of tuition, making this a highly valuable award package. The scholarship is awarded in lieu of the Freshman Academic Scholarship Packages and is designed to attract high-achieving students who have demonstrated exceptional academic performance. Students must maintain a minimum 9th-11th grade GPA of 3.0+ and must be named as a semi-finalist by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. National Merit Semi-Finalists who are members of the Shackouls Honors College may be eligible for an additional $2,000 Stewart Bridgforth Honors Scholarship, which may be used for study abroad, internships, or faculty-sponsored undergraduate research support after successful completion of the student's first year at MSU. To be considered for this additional scholarship, students must be active participants in the Shackouls Honors College, maintain a minimum overall 3.4 GPA, and participate in the Stewart Bridgforth Honors Scholars Program.
