:: Scholarships & Financial Aid ::

   The DSS program is supported by direct foundation and corporate grants, enabling it to offer a variety of scholarships. Requests for DSS scholarships are considered upon the initial receipt of applications for admission, and are granted on the basis of need and academic performance   Special funds are set aside for mid-career professionals to supplement any tuition assistance they may receive from their employers.

     In return for this financial consideration, DSS requires a certain number of hours of work per week from each scholarship recipient. The number of hours required from scholarship recipients is in direct proportion to the amount of the stipend awarded. DSS scholarships fall within the guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and may affect the amount and types of federal, state, and university financial assistance for which a student may be eligible.

     Federal and state educational loans are available through Missouri State University’s Office of Financial Aid. You may contact that office by phone at (417) 836-5262, or 1- 800-283-4243. The Office of Financial Aid web page is located at www.missouristate.edu/Financialaid. As an alternative to federal loans, many private banks offer student loans, which are signature loans not tied to Missouri State University's cost of attendance.
