Financial Arrangements

Scholarships

MSU students may apply for scholarships offered through the Office of Study Abroad.  Non-MSU students are not eligible for MSU scholarships, but should check with their home university to find out about scholarship options there.   

MSU students applying to any credit-bearing study abroad program are eligible for OSA Scholarships.   Some scholarships are based exclusively on academic performance; others are based on a combination of academic performance and financial need.  Requirements are listed in the scholarship application.  The deadlines to apply for these scholarships are January 15th for spring break programs, March 1st for summer, academic year and fall semester programs, and October 15th for winter break and spring semester programs.  

A generous endowment from the MSU Federal Credit Union, as well as additional resources provided through the Forest Akers Endowment, MSU Alumni Association, the Australia-Pacific Council, Eleanor and Charles Greenleaf Sr., Brigitte and Thomas Huff, the Georges Jules Joyaux Memorial Fund, the Kellogg Foundation, Charles and Marjorie Gliozzo, and contributors to the Overseas Study Endowment provide funding for these OSA scholarships.
Scholarship applications are available online.  You can also find information about more MSU scholarship opportunities through individual colleges and external scholarship possibilities (including funding for Multicultural students) at the Office of Study Abroad scholarships Web page.
