Additional Renewal Eligibility Notes

• If you are a current Mizzou student and a Missouri resident, you will continue to receive the same award amount you were initially awarded at the time of admission. Award amounts can vary between different enrollment years and are not subject to change after the initial award.
• If you are a current Mizzou student and a non-Missouri resident, you will continue to receive the same award amount you were initially awarded at the time of admission unless you gain Missouri residency. Nonresident students who establish residency become eligible for in-state tuition rates but are no longer eligible for the automatic or competitive scholarships received based on out-of-state admission.
