The College of Education offers scholarships for current undergraduate and graduate students. Scholarships provide fiscal support as Spartans advance through their degrees and MSU journeys.
A list of all undergraduate scholarships and graduate scholarships will be available soon via PDF download. Some scholarships are for students admitted to specific programs, others are for students studying particular topics regardless of programs, and still others are open to all at a particular level (e.g. graduate students). Additionally, eligibility is open to all without restriction or preference based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, or other protected personal identity.
Links to the application forms will be available during the annual application window.
