Go Mo State Scholarship

Students must meet the University’s general Scholarship Enrollment and Renewal Standards to maintain eligibility. The Go Mo State Scholarship is renewable for up to four additional years following the initial year of the award, or until the student earns their first undergraduate degree, whichever occurs first, provided the student remains enrolled in an undergraduate program.
