<p>While researching some scholarship $ for another poster who is currently at a CC, I found this and thought I'd share with others who might have the same need. It's often very hard for CC students to get any merit $ when transferring to a 4 year University. So, I was happy to find these below listed scholarships</p>
<p>Please, note...
1) that some scholarships can be stacked and some cannot be stacked.
2) that only some scholarships are available for OOS students.
3) Miss State is kind of "first come/first serve" when it comes to scholarship apps, so the earlier you apply, the better your chances. :)</p>
<p>FYI...Mississippi State is the flagship of the state. </p>
<p>I have never been on the Miss St campus (I will be there in Nov), but several friends' kids go there and really like it. The campus is lovely, the architecture is classic red brick/columns type, and there are many very strong programs there, such as engineering, pre-health, pre-vet (it has the vet school), math and sciences. It probably has a good business school, too, but I'm not familiar with that (yet). LOL</p>
