Image of MoneyThanks to generous donors, our College offers over 250 scholarships for MSU business students, totalling over $500,000. $100,000 will be given out to incoming students.

Our scholarships support students at different points in their academic careers or in different fields of study (e.g. incoming first-year student or a junior in a particular option). Because of this, we encourage all students to apply for scholarships each year.

Eligibility for need-based scholarships is determined by the MSU Office of Financial Aid. Students who wish to be considered for need-based scholarships must complete their FAFSA application. Need-based scholarships will not be awarded to students who have not completed the FAFSA application. FAFSA information can be found here: http://www.montana.edu/financialaid/priority.html. MSU's priority deadline to file a FAFSA is February 1.

The 2024-2025 Scholarship Application period is now closed.

Decisions are made in February and students are notified in March 2025.
