MU annual scholarship application

 The University of Missouri offers several scholarships for which students are considered automatically when they are admitted to MU.  Other MU scholarships require the students to apply using the MU Annual Scholarship Application.

If you are a first-time college student, be sure to apply for admission to MU and file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)external link. 

Tips for completing the MU Annual Scholarship Application

  • Do not use the "forward" or "back" buttons on your browser; instead use the buttons at the bottom of each page.
  • For security reasons, the scholarship application will time out after 45 minutes of inactivity. You must navigate between pages or click on the "save" button at the bottom of each page to remain active. If you have trouble logging back in after your session has timed out, close and then reopen your browser.
  • If you are creating a new application, make note of your scholarship application ID and password so you can review or revise your application. Passwords are case sensitive.
  • The date you create and register a scholarship application ID and password is considered the application date. Making revisions later will not change the application date.
  • When you have completed the application, you will receive a scholarship application number, which serves as confirmation that you have submitted your application.
  • You will receive an e-mail confirmation that your application has been received.
  • Questions? Contact the Office of Student Financial Aid's Scholarship Office.
