New Orleans Chapter Scholarship
In December of 2001, members of the New Orleans, Louisiana MSU Alumni Chapter of Mississippi State University established the NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA MSU ALUMNI CHAPTER SCHOLARSHIP fund. The Mississippi State University Foundation agrees to use this fund to establish an annual scholarship for deserving students enrolled at Mississippi State University.
Candidates for the NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA MSU ALUMNI CHAPTER SCHOLARSHIP must:
1. Be residents of the New Orleans, Louisiana alumni district. This area currently includes the parishes of Jefferson, Orleans, St. Charles, St. Tammany, St. John, St. James, Washington, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Lafourche, and Terrebonne.
2. Be full-time entering freshman who graduated from schools in the New Orleans, Louisiana alumni district. In the event that there are no eligible applicants, currently enrolled students from the New Orleans, Louisiana alumni district will be considered.
3. Have demonstrated academic achievement, a minimum of a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
4. Have demonstrated leadership skills and/or community involvement.
The University Scholarship Committee administers the scholarship program at Mississippi State University. Financial need may be used as consideration in selection. Any scholarships will be awarded on a year-to-year basis.
Awards will be based on funds available. Funds will not be given directly to the recipients; rather, the university business office will credit the recipients' tuition and fees expenses each semester.
Applications for scholarships are available through the student application for admission after receiving admittance to MSU. Students who complete the scholarship information after admittance to Mississippi State will automatically be considered if the criteria is met.
