New scholarships at Mississippi State University are available to
students who are Eagle Scouts or Gold Award recipients.
Mississippi residents who achieve the rank of Eagle with the Boy
Scouts of America or obtain the Gold Award with the Girl Scouts of the
USA are encouraged to apply.
The scholarships are for $1,000 for the academic year or $500 per
semester.
"The ranks of Eagle Scouts and Gold Award winners are among the most
recognized and prestigious achievements in American society,'' said
MSU President Robert "Doc'' Foglesong.
Entering freshmen applicants must have a high school grade-point
average of at least 2.5. Community college transfers must have 48
credit hours and a minimum 2.5 grade-point average to be eligible. For
