Scholarships

Scholarships are investments in the shared future of UMSL and the region. All UMSL scholarships foster dreams and create life-changing opportunities that transform the lives of students and pave the way to a bright future.

Named scholarships can honor friends and family, support students pursuing a specific degree or major or build capacity to support and expand UMSL priorities.

Join our generous and loyal community of supporters by making a gift to one of these general scholarship funds:

The UMSL Scholarship Fund is critical in helping students from all backgrounds grab hold of their futures. For students who find themselves struggling financially, scholarships large and small can mean the difference between dropping out or completing their educational journey. 

You can make a difference today. Every dollar you give in support of scholarships will help a student get one step closer to the future they want for themselves and their families. Help build inclusive prosperity and growth for everyone. Please support the UMSL Scholarship Fund today! 

The Finish Your Degree Scholarship assists senior students who are unable to return to UMSL because they have depleted all available financial aid.
