1855 Scholarship

Overview

The 1855 Scholarship is one of the specific award levels of the MSU Non-resident Scholarship, established to increase affordability and accessibility for students coming from outside of Michigan. It was created as part of a heavy investment by the university to support non-resident students in managing the higher costs of out-of-state tuition. The award is granted to high-achieving incoming first-year students with either domestic out-of-state or international residency status based on their academic performance and excellence beyond the classroom.
