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.
