Mizzou Scholars Award?

Hello! I’ve been poking around for information about this scholarship and I wanted to see if anybody had applied in the past.

I just got a letter that said that I was a finalist for the $10,000 Mizzou Scholars Award and needed to submit an essay and a resume for further review. Does anybody know what sorts of stats winners have had in the past? I have a 35 ACT, 3.8 GPA (weighted), and good extra curriculars (editor in chief of both the hs newspaper and literary journal, writing coach for local junior high writing team).

Any thoughts? Anybody else gotten the same letter? I really need the money but I know it’s only offered to a few applicants

My D got the same letter. I believe Mizzou gives out 35 of these scholarships. You sound competitive but I don’t know stats of any recipients.

CoMoMom – thanks! Best of luck to your daughter :slight_smile:

@Rogenbun Sure thing! Good luck to you too. I guess we will not hear anything on this until mid-March, I believe. So, waiting is the name of the game.

Any word?

Not at our house!

No news here either :frowning: I’ll let you know as soon as I hear word either way though!

Everyone check your Myzou portal for a new message! Good luck!

Haha I’ve been checking every morning but I hadn’t yet – woohoo! Thanks for the tip @KunjiBoy‌ :smile: and congrats to you!

My DD’s friend called yesterday and was told “the letters are going in the mail tomorrow”…So do they come snail mail or via MyZou?

@CoMoMom I’d guess both. MyZou>StudentCenter>New Messages is the path to follow.

Yea it’s both. You can check it through myzou digitally earlier though

Woot, Woot!

Congrats to your daughter! Yay for all of us :slight_smile:
