An athletics scholarship may cover up to the cost of tuition, fees, room, board, books and other expenses related to attendance at MSU for the period of the award. Scholarships are renewable and notifications of renewal, increase, reduction or non-renewal are postmarked no later than July 1. If you have a question about the terms of your financial aid agreement, see your head coach, the compliance office, or the Athletics Director.
Athletically-Related Financial Aid Policies
- Under normal circumstances, an athletics scholarship for subsequent years is generally renewed, but NCAA rules forbid a commitment or guarantee beyond the period of the award.
- Your scholarship may be reduced or canceled for any reason after the period of the award. The most common reasons are:
- Academic problems; and
- Discipline problems.
- You will receive a letter from the Financial Aid Office postmarked by July 1 if your scholarship is reduced or canceled.
- You will receive a letter from the Compliance Office via email by July 1 if your scholarship has been renewed.
- If you disagree with the decision to reduce or cancel your scholarship you may file a request for an appeals committee hearing with the Financial Aid Office.
