University of Missouri-Columbia - Missouri Community College Scholarship

Deadline: February 1, 2017

Award Amount: $1,000 for each academic year

Minimum qualifications

• Associate's degree from an accredited Missouri community college or completion of at least 45 credit hours
• Cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher at the community college
• Enrollment at MU the semester immediately following graduation from community college
• U.S. citizen or permanent resident
• Missouri resident

Application process

No application required. Students are automatically considered based on admission information. Former degree-seeking MU students are not eligible.

Renewal

Renewable for one additional year. Students can receive the scholarship for a maximum of four regular (fall or spring) semesters, or until receiving a bachelor’s degree, whichever occurs first.

To remain eligible for the award, recipients must:

• Remain continuously enrolled at MU for each regular (fall and spring) semester
• Enroll for a minimum of 12 credit hours each semester (fall and spring)
• Complete at least 24 graded credit hours each academic year
• Maintain a cumulative MU grade point average of 3.0 or higher

Failure to meet the renewal criteria will cause the recipient to be ineligible to receive the scholarship for the following academic year. If at the end of that academic year the renewal criteria listed above are met, the scholarship will be reinstated for the next academic year. However, all regular semesters of enrollment are counted toward the four-semester limit of receiving the award.
