Scholarships
Scholarship access and information is also provided for nontraditional students through this office, as well as university-based scholarship information.
MSU 101 classes are also conducted with the non-traditional student in mind. The classes, led by the non-traditional student coordinator, provides students with an orientation to university life with special emphasis on concerns of the non-traditional student. In addition to providing practical information about the university and sponsored activities, these classes provide an outlet for getting acquainted quickly with other non-traditional students.
Through the university, the Caudill Fellowship was established to provide students 65 and older, at the time of application and a resident of Kentucky, with financial assistance in returning to school. More information about the program and other financial aid options can be obtained by contacting the Non-traditional Student Coordinator, Jill McBride, or the Office of Financial Aid.
Additional fund raising efforts are conducted through non-traditional student activities to help support scholarships and emergency funds designed specifically to assist the non-traditional student.
