Please Note:The scholarships you see listed on the website below include every Foundation Scholarship offered at MTSU, along with several departmental scholarships. Scholarships which are listed may or may not be awarded in a given year, depending on available funding. Departments which use a single application for all scholarships will generally consider you for all scholarships which have available funding and for which you meet the minimum requirements. Departments which use a separate application for each scholarship will be able to help you determine which scholarships will be awarded this year, so that you can submit the correct applications.
