Partner Institution Transfers
If you are transferring directly to Missouri S&T from one of our transfer partner institutions, you may qualify for an additional Partners in Excellence Scholarship. (Students in the Missouri State Cooperative program are not eligible for the Partners in Excellence Scholarship.)
Eligibility
These scholarships are available for U.S. citizens, permanent residents and students pursuing their 1st bachelor's degree. Eligibility criteria and application process are as follows:
- Admitted transfer students are automatically considered for scholarships (no separate scholarship application required) if they meet application deadlines.
- Applicants are encouraged to have their admission application and transcripts from all previously attended institutions submitted by the final admissions deadline.
- Transfer students must be pursuing their 1st bachelor's degree upon enrollment at Missouri S&T.
- Renewal will be based on cumulative GPA after two semesters at Missouri S&T, including transferred and S&T coursework.
- Students must be enrolled full-time (minimum of 12 hours at Missouri S&T) to receive a scholarship.
- Scholarship amounts are annual, with half awarded for fall and half for spring (not available for summer).
- Out-of-state residents who gain Missouri residency will be charged in-state tuition and will forfeit out-of-state merit scholarships.
*Awards made prior to fall 2024 will follow the previous renewal policy (total of four semesters).
Renewal
All renewable scholarships are available for a total of eight (8) semesters to full-time students.* Scholarships may begin in either the fall or spring semester. Renewal is based on your cumulative GPA after two full semesters, including GPA from all transferred credits.
