The Legacy Scholarship is a one-time $500 scholarship awarded to 20 students each fall. Recipients will be selected based on the number of legacy family members, their involvement in student organizations, and their response to the question: What does being an MSSU Lion mean to you?

If essays do not meet these requirements, they will not be considered during the scholarship awarding process.
