Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) offers various scholarship opportunities for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. The SMSU Foundation Scholarships provide financial aid to incoming and current students, with applications typically due by March 1st. Additionally, the Mustang Promise covers tuition gaps for eligible Minnesota residents.
Departmental scholarships are available for specific majors, such as business, education, or fine arts. External scholarships, like the Minnesota State Grant, may also supplement funding. Students should complete the FAFSA and check SMSU’s scholarship portal for updated opportunities and deadlines.
