Scholarship decisions for first-year students are based upon your MSU application, academic merit and financial need. There is no separate scholarship application. Michigan State University and the College of Engineering will automatically review your eligibility when you apply, and scholarship offers will be made during the first week of April.
Visit MSU first-year scholarships for information on university-awarded scholarships.
Additionally, each year the College of Engineering offers more than 150 scholarships totaling approximately $300,000 to incoming first-year and transfer students. Individual scholarships range from $1,000 to $8,500. Academic excellence is the primary criterion with financial need considered for some awards. For the past several years, incoming first-year scholarships were offered to students with minimum 32 or higher ACT composite or 1460 SAT, and 3.8 or higher HS GPA, with financial need.

All engineering students are invited to apply for DSOS scholarships. Several types of achievements are recognized through our DSOS event including academic excellence and contributions to the Engineering Inclusion and Diversity (EGRID) mission. All students who have achievements and involvement in these areas are strongly encouraged to apply. Visit our Dean’s Showcase of Stars page for more information.
Returning students, including current first-year students, who wish to be considered for general or discipline-based engineering scholarships must complete the MSU scholarship application. Students must fill out and submit both the general and College of Engineering applications to be considered for engineering scholarships. Also, please submit a FAFSA even if you think your income exceeds the limits.
The following guidelines govern the scholarship selection process:
The following faculty members represent their departments on the Undergraduate Awards and Financial Aid Committee. This committee meets at the end of the spring semester to determine scholarship awards and allocate funds for the upcoming academic year. Students will be notified of the outcome of the status of their applications by July.
Any questions regarding your scholarships please email our scholarship team at scholarships@egr.msu.edu.
