Scholarships and Financial Aid

Supporting your education

The School of Accountancy offers numerous scholarship opportunities for students pursuing a business education. Many of these scholarships and awards specifically apply to accounting undergraduate and graduate students. Funded through generous gifts from individuals and businesses, these scholarships assist you in completing your accounting degree and pursuing success as a professional.

You must submit the MSU Annual Scholarship Application Form by March 1 to be considered for a School of Accountancy scholarship. If you are selected for a scholarship, you must also attend the scholarship banquet held each spring. Your scholarship will then apply for the coming academic year.

Other aid opportunities

You may qualify for additional University scholarships. The office of financial aid provides information about University scholarships, grants and loans. Most scholarships at Missouri State University, including those designated for accounting students, require the submission of a completed MSU Annual Scholarship Application Form. Details about additional materials are included in the descriptions below.

Financial need is often considered in the awarding of scholarships, and is determined solely by your Federal Application for Student Financial Aid.
