Foundation Scholarship Deadline is March 10

Students have until March 10 to apply for any of the nearly 600 Truman State University Foundation scholarships available for the coming academic year.

Foundation scholarships are donor-funded awards available to currently enrolled Truman students. They are financed by the contributions of alumni, friends, parents, faculty, staff, campus organizations, and foundations and corporations who believe in Truman’s mission and want to create opportunities for students.

Factors considered for the awarding of Foundation scholarships are determined by the donor, so criteria varies from scholarship to scholarship. When starting the online application process, students will automatically be considered for all Foundation scholarships for which they qualify. Submitting an application does not guarantee a student will be awarded a scholarship. Recipients are selected by a committee and notified by email.

Students must be enrolled full-time to receive the full amount for a Foundation scholarship. Students who receive institutional, state and federal aid that exceeds the direct cost of tuition, room and board are excluded from the applicant pool for Foundation scholarships.

To apply for a Foundation scholarship, log in to TruView, go to the Student Tab, Student Tools, Scholarships, Financial Aid & Loans then Foundation Scholarship Application. Students can submit and revise their application online at any time prior to the deadline of March 10.

Last year, more than $1.3 million was awarded to students through Truman State University Foundation scholarships. For more information, visit truman.edu/giving/establish-a-scholarship/applying-for-foundation-scholarships.
