Mississippi State Alumni Non-Resident Tuition Scholarship

About the Scholarship

Mississippi State adds up to $5,000 a year for international first-year students whose parent graduated from the university, verified by the registrar.

It stacks with the university's non-resident tuition scholarship, though the combined total cannot exceed the non-resident portion of tuition, which caps what the pairing is worth.

Its international eligibility comes from the page it sits on rather than a sentence naming it, so it rests on weaker ground than the university's freshman and transfer awards.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

Up to $5,000 a year. It stacks with the non-resident tuition scholarship, but the university states the combined amount cannot exceed the non-resident portion of tuition. The student must be assessed non-resident tuition to receive it, and it cannot be combined with non-resident charge waivers or the university's National Merit and Presidential Endowed packages. International students with active agent contracts are ineligible. The university notes the amounts may combine institutional and private awards.

Eligibility

Being the child of a Mississippi State graduate, verified by the registrar. Renewal needs a 2.5 overall college grade average and continuous full-time enrolment.

Eligible Countries

The university states it automatically awards academic scholarships to eligible international students, and publishes these non-resident awards on its international scholarships page. It has no international-exclusive awards; international students receive the non-resident awards. This award is covered by the page's international framing rather than a sentence naming it, so the evidence is weaker than for the university's other two awards.
