All Opportunities

Welcome to Mississippi State University’s Online Scholarship System! If you have not done so, please login using your NetID and NetPassword using the “Sign In” button in the top right corner. You must sign in to access your General Scholarship Application. The scholarship applications for the 2026-27 academic year open on October 1, 2025. The priority general scholarship application submission date for entering freshmen is December 1. The priority general scholarship application submission date for entering transfer and current students is March 1.

Browsing “ALL” Scholarships: You may click on the “All” menu under “Opportunities” in the menu above and browse additional opportunities. This list shows all scholarships without filtering them based on your individual credentials, so save your valuable time by reading the descriptions carefully before applying.

To view the scholarship opportunities for which you may possibly be eligible, you may click “Recommended” under “Opportunities” above.

Automatch scholarships will appear with “None” listed under the “Action” column – this means an additional application is not required for consideration. If the scholarship appears with “Apply” under the “Action” column – please read each description thoroughly and apply to each scholarship separately.

If after reading a scholarship description, you know you don’t qualify, don’t apply.

Additional scholarship opportunities may become available after the General Scholarship Application has been completed. It is your responsibility to check MSU’s Online Scholarship System frequently for additional scholarship opportunities that may become available.

The “Deadline” column indicates the deadline to complete the application to receive consideration. This is not the deadline to accept the award.
