If I received a scholarship check where do I send it so that it can be applied to my account?

What information should be included with the scholarship check?
Please include the student's name and student identification number with the check. If you do not have the student's ID number, provide as much information as possible such as the student's middle name, address, high school, etc., so that we credit the correct account.

Who do I call to verify that MSU has received my scholarship check?

I applied for a scholarship and have not heard back from the sponsoring organization. Will they contact me?
Each organization is different. Normally, you will be notified by the organization if you are selected to receive their scholarship. You may or may not hear from that organization if you are not selected.

The scholarship application states that I must be a resident of a particular county. What does that mean?
Residential county requirements refer to your county of permanent residence. If you live in a county strictly for educational purposes, you are typically not considered a resident for scholarship purposes.
