The Board of Governors Scholarship is awarded to entering first-time students based on their high school GPA and ACT or SAT scores. Missouri State will use the higher of a student's composite or superscore ACT or SAT to determine their eligibility. If a student's GPA and test score improve, their scholarship will be upgraded. The Board of Governors Scholarship recipients qualify for admission to the Honors College and have access to a $1,000 education-abroad voucher. Non-Missouri residents will also receive a full waiver of non-resident fees. International Baccalaureate Diploma and Career-related Program completers will be awarded the Board of Governors Scholarship regardless of test scores. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
