MU Financial Aid/Scholarships and VA Benefits

Financial aid

Financial aid is available to qualified degree candidates who are enrolled at MU. Non-degree-seeking and post-baccalaureate students are not admitted to a specific degree program and do not qualify for federal financial aid. Financial aid includes: Student loans, grants, Curators' and University Scholarships (as well as other scholarships), Vocational Rehabilitation and some third-party billings.

Graduate students in a degree-seeking program who hold a qualifying assistantship or fellowship may be eligible for a GSSP fee waiver, which waives their resident and non-resident (if applicable) educational fees for courses which are applicable and relevant to the student’s degree program. For more information about the GSSP fee waiver program, visit the Graduate School web site.
