Missouri Land Grant
Mizzou is committed to helping Missourians obtain a high-quality and affordable education.
The Missouri Land Grant provides financial assistance to eligible students by ensuring all tuition is covered. It is automatically awarded annually to students who meet the eligibility criteria.
How does it work?
Students who qualify will have their tuition and fees automatically covered by a combination of financial aid programs. You’ll see these on your financial aid offer notification.
The Missouri Land Grant award amount is calculated by taking your total tuition and mandatory fees and subtracting the other financial aid programs you may qualify for, such as the federal Pell or SEOG Grant, state of Missouri grants or scholarships, select Mizzou scholarships, and/or KC Scholars.
The grant is available for up to eight fall and spring semesters if you maintain eligibility on an annual basis. This award cannot be applied to summer semesters. Additional charges, such as bookstore charges, parking passes, housing, food, and other charges billed to your student account, are not included.

- Missouri resident at the time of admission
- Undergraduate student pursuing their first bachelor’s degree

*The Missouri Land Grant award amount and eligibility criteria are subject to change annually depending on institutional funding. New award amounts and eligibility criteria do not apply retroactively to previous academic years.
