$0 tuition and fees
If you attend Missouri State, your tuition and fees could be $0.
Your KC Scholars award can be paired with a matching Missouri State scholarship. That’s a value of up to $100,000 over five years.
All your key costs for college – tuition, housing, meal plans and textbooks – would be covered!
Are you eligible?
This partnership removes financial barriers in higher education.
The requirements are short and simple. To qualify, you must:
- Be a KC Scholars award recipient (Traditional Scholarship).
- Meet MSU admission requirements.
- Live in on-campus housing for all 4-5 years.
- Participate in the Bears Lead program your first two years.
There's more than one way to fund your future. Try this option
A college degree is a life-changing milestone, and we don’t want you to miss out.
That’s why we’ve created the MSU-only scholarship. It’s for KC Scholars applicants who didn’t receive a KC Scholars Traditional Scholarship award.
MSU will provide the financial means for you to still earn a college education.
