NEMO Scholarship Expands to Support More Area Students

Beginning next fall, even more students will have access to the Northeast Missouri Scholarship at Truman.  

The Northeast Missouri Scholarship has been expanded to include Clark, Lewis, Shelby and Marion counties. This expansion will be effective for the fall 2026 incoming students.
 
The scholarship, which debuted this academic year, originally served students from eight northeast Missouri counties. It provides $2,000 for students living on campus. Students from the area not living on campus can still receive $1,000. This scholarship does not stack with top scholar or TruPlus awards.
 
The full list of counties available for this scholarship includes Adair, Putnam, Schuyler, Scotland, Knox, Macon, Linn, Sullivan, Clark, Lewis, Shelby and Marion. All new admitted Truman students from these 12 northeast Missouri counties are automatically eligible for the scholarship, which is renewable each year the student attends. No additional application is required. Transfer students who meet certain criteria and hail from the applicable counties may also be eligible to receive the award.
