Students currently enrolled at MSU and college transfer students are evaluated primarily on the basis of their cumulative grade-point averages. Some academic scholarships are not automatically renewed. Students will compete for available scholarships every academic year. Students from Attala, Carroll, Choctaw, Montgomery, and Webster counties in the state of Mississippi may be eligible to apply for the E.H. Sumners Award. Current residency in one of these counties is a requirement of eligibility for this scholarship.
All students have the right to appeal their scholarship status.
All appeals must be in writing and include the student s name, social security number, telephone number and all the facts and documentation upon which the appeal is based. The University Scholarship Appeals Committee has authority over all appeals and its decisions are final. For information about the Meridian Campus, contact Lesa Aymami .
