Your Northeast Florida MSU Alumni Chapter Needs You!
Your Northeast Florida Chapter of the Mississippi State University Alumni Association needs some “True Maroon” volunteers to help build a strong Bulldog presence in the greater Jacksonville area.
So, what exactly is a chapter’s role with the MSU Alumni Association?
Basically, a chapter becomes "Mississippi State" in its community. The interest you stimulate, the service you provide, and the information you collect and disseminate helps the university, the community and the chapter members. Not only are you keeping your local alumni and Bulldog friends connected through communication, activities and events, you are recruiting prospective students.
The MSU Alumni Association is working to establish an organized and enthusiastic connection for our alumni, friends, and students. If you are interested in learning how you can help spread the Maroon and White, share your ideas, learn more about the chapter, volunteer for service, or just show your support, please contact Janet Downey, Coordinator of Volunteer Engagement, MSU Alumni Association
jdowney@alumni.msstate.edu or 662.325.8515
How can you help?
- Volunteers for chapter leadership opportunities (options) – president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, student recruiting chair, social chair, game-watch gathering coordinators, and board members.
- Possible activities for 2023 – student recruiting; regular gatherings - happy hour, supper club, Sunday casual gatherings, Saturday coffee meet ups; community service activity, family outings. The possibilities are endless.
- Chapter Goals/Initiatives – engaging all Bulldogs, community service, recruiting students in your area, supporting scholarships to MSU.

Northeast Florida Chapter Scholarship
Members of the Northeast Florida Alumni Chapter of Mississippi State University established the NORTHEAST FLORIDA 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.
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. Students who are recipients one year are eligible for consideration in any other year; however, they must again comply with the selection criteria.
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 this scholarship 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 above criteria is met.
