Scholarships at SMSU-West Plains are designed to recognize and reward students for their academic performance and leadership abilities.

The SMSU-WP Scholarship Committee is responsible for administration of the various competitive scholarship programs, both institutionally funded and privately endowed. Scholarship athletes are eligible to receive academic scholarships only if based on certified need.
