Eighteen incoming students have been awarded scholarships to cover full tuition, room and board and a stipend for up to eight semesters of undergraduate study at Michigan State University.

The scholarships are valued at about $130,000 for in-state students and approximately $230,000 for out-of-state students. 

The newest 17 Alumni Distinguished Scholars and University Distinguished Scholars hail from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, New Jersey, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vietnam and Ghana.

“We are delighted to welcome all of the Alumni and University Distinguished Scholars as well as all of those who took part in the selection processes this year,” said Matthew Zierler, interim dean of the Honors College. “These students have already demonstrated a high level of achievement and intellectual curiosity, and we are looking forward to them bringing their talents and excitement to the Honors College and MSU.”

All students receiving an Alumni Distinguished Scholarship or University Distinguished Scholarship will be members of the Honors College.
