#YouAreWelcomeHere Scholarship (Michigan State University)

About this scholarship

Michigan State University offers the #YouAreWelcomeHere Scholarship to a select group of incoming international undergraduate students who demonstrate a commitment to intercultural understanding. The award provides $25,000 toward tuition each year and is renewable for eight semesters, making its total possible value $100,000 over a four-year degree. Unlike most MSU international admission scholarships, this award requires a supplemental scholarship application available through the applicant's MSU account after applying for admission. Selection is tied to the national #YouAreWelcomeHere message: applicants should show a record of bridging intercultural divides, welcoming people from different backgrounds, and contributing to a globally inclusive campus community. The scholarship cannot be stacked on top of the MSU Non-resident Scholarship, so recipients receive the award that best applies under MSU rules. Applicants must be incoming first-year students with non-U.S. residency status, meet MSU admission and English-language requirements, and remain full-time and in good standing to renew the award. Because MSU describes the award as limited and selective, students should also review automatic international scholarship options on the same official page.
