Presidential Endowed Scholarship (Mississippi State University)

The Presidential Endowed Scholarship is Mississippi State's most prestigious undergraduate award, given to roughly 40 of the strongest entering freshmen each year on a competitive basis. The package is worth about $107,000 over four years, covering tuition, a meal plan, and housing, plus $12,000 for study abroad and undergraduate research. Students apply through MSU's General Scholarship Application and, if selected as a finalist, complete an interview.
