MSOE Scholarships & Grants
MSOE offers a long list of scholarships to help make your education affordable while recognizing student achievement and commitment to academics and service.
Full-time enrollment must be maintained in order to remain eligible to receive MSOE gift aid including the MSOE Academic Scholarship. Full-time enrollment is defined as being registered for 12+ credits per term and is determined by enrollment status as of 4:30 p.m. on Friday of Week One of each term. Students are allowed to request a prorated amount of their MSOE scholarship for part-time enrollment. This exception is available for up to two semesters per student and does not include the summer term.
The MSOE Academic Scholarship may be extended to a sixth full-time year (up to 12 full-time semesters).
To maintain MSOE Academic Scholarships and Grants, students must meet MSOE's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). For major-specific scholarships, students must remain in an eligible major for scholarship renewal, in addition to meeting other eligibility requirements.

Outside Resources
Americorp Application
Students wishing to utilize their Americorp benefits may request funding to be applied to their MSOE Financial Aid account. To do so, visit the Americorp website and request which term and how much in funding you would like sent to MSOE. Funding will typically be processed in two payments, one at the beginning of the term, and the other at the midpoint. Please plan accordingly. All Americorp funds will be added to a student's account for the certified term as a "Miscellaneous Scholarship."
Donor Funded Scholarships
After the initial Financial Aid Offer is made, students may be awarded one of MSOE's donor-funded scholarships. These scholarships are provided by MSOE corporate donors and alumni, and they typically fund/sponsor a portion of a student's academic merit Scholarship. These types of scholarships are critical to MSOE's scholarship program.
Miscellaneous Scholarships
Outside, or miscellaneous, scholarship funds are awarded through private entities such as churches, non-profits, local organizations, etc. outside of MSOE. In most cases, the organization or the student will send the check to the Financial Aid Office, and we will apply it toward the student's financial aid offer.
