Academic Achievement Scholarships
Morehead State University offers a range of valuable academic achievement scholarships to entering freshmen and transfer students who have demonstrated scholastic excellence and leadership, without regard to financial need. The number of exceptional students choosing Morehead State for its quality academic programs continues to increase each year.
How To Apply For Scholarships
Morehead State makes it convenient for students to apply for scholarships in two ways:
Academic Achievement Scholarships are automatically given consideration based on the completed Undergraduate Admission and Scholarship Application and submitted transcript and test scores. Complete the Undergraduate Admission and Scholarship Application form online, or obtain an application from Enrollment Services or the counselor’s office of your school.
All scholarships, including scholarships funded by private endowments, University departments, Office of Athletics and student organizations, available for both new and current students, can be found in the MSU Scholarship Guide. If any scholarship requires a separate application, it is included in the guide.
Priority Deadline – March 15
The priority deadline for entering freshmen is March 15, for a completed application packet, including:
- Completed Undergraduate Admission and Scholarship Application form; and
- Seven semester high school transcript; and
- ACT (or SAT) test scores. Students who have not reported test scores by this date must by March 15 provide proof of test registration (your ACT order confirmation) for the April 4, 2009 national ACT test date and have those scores reported to MSU to be given consideration.
The Office of Enrollment Services should receive your completed application packet by the March 15 priority application deadline to best compete for these attractive scholarships. As all scholarships are subject to availability of funds and these attractive scholarships are highly competitive, students should apply as early as possible to ensure consideration.
Over-Awards
Federal regulations restrict the total amount of funds for which students may be eligible. Students who receive more than the amount for which they are eligible from all sources, including grants, KEES funds (for Kentucky residents) and scholarships, may not receive the full value of their scholarships if it would result in an over-award situation.
Scholarship Renewals
Scholarships that may be received for more than one academic year may have academic and/or campus housing requirements that must be met to continue to receive those scholarships. See the requirement for each scholarship for current information.
