Two scholarships will be awarded for the 2004-2005 academic year at MSU in the amount of $500.00 each; these are non-renewable awards.

The scholarship winners will be awarded a check at the FPWA luncheon in early May.

The scholarships will be administered by the Faculty and Professional Women's Association which maintains responsibility for them, including the selection of the recipients.

Scholarships will be awarded to one undergraduate and one graduate female based on academic qualifications and financial need. The following criteria apply:

  • GPA of 3.4 or greater for an undergraduate student; or,
  • GPA of 3.8 or greater for a graduate student; and,
  • Description of financial need.
