Applying for Foundation Scholarships

Each year, the Truman State University Foundation awards donor-funded scholarships to currently enrolled Truman students. The Foundation scholarships are financed by the contributions of alumni, friends, parents, faculty, staff, campus organizations, foundations and corporations who believe in Truman’s important mission and want to create opportunities for students.

Who Can Apply

  • A student must be enrolled as a full-time student at Truman to be eligible for Foundation Scholarships. The only exception is the semester immediately preceding graduation, during which scholarships may be prorated for students enrolled less than full-time.

  • Students who receive institutional, state and federal aid that exceeds the direct cost of tuition, housing and meals are excluded from the applicant pool for Foundation scholarships.

Selection Process

  • The criteria for Foundation scholarships vary based on the donor’s requirements. When you begin the online application, all currently available scholarships for which you qualify will automatically appear on your list of scholarship options.

  • Please note that applying does not guarantee a scholarship award. All applications are reviewed by a selection committee, and recipients will be notified via email.

Application Availability

Most scholarships for the upcoming academic year can be applied for in February through TruView. Additional scholarship opportunities are announced in the Truman Today campus newsletter when available.
