Outside Scholarships

Many companies and agencies send scholarship and graduate fellowship information to Missouri S&T periodically and we make that information available to you here. Please contact the organizations themselves about these scholarship programs. Missouri S&T does not endorse, administer, or sponsor any scholarship program listed here, but rather is providing these contacts as a service to future students and their families.

It's always a great idea to explore scholarship opportunities with your local high school's college counseling staff, as many organizations also communicate with local high schools about scholarship programs, but might not necessarily send the application information to colleges and universities.
