Scholarship Search
This website lists all of the scholarships available to Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) students. Anyone can browse our list of scholarship opportunities available at MTSU, but only students who have been tentatively or fully admitted for admission to MTSU are able to apply for them.
To get the most out of this scholarship search, we suggest using the Keyword Search feature to find scholarships that are applicable towards yourself. For example, you are an Incoming Freshman, type FRESHMAN in the keyword search box to see what scholarships are available to Incoming Freshman Students. Or for example, you are an Accounting major, type ACCOUNTING in the keyword search box to see what scholarships are available to Accounting majors. The search functions below will allow you to learn more about the many scholarships that may be available to you.
In this system, you can NOT apply individually to scholarships. You apply to scholarships by completing the scholarship application(s) that are shown to you. First, you need to complete the General Scholarship Application. Once the General Scholarship Application is submitted, you will be shown other scholarship applications that are applicable to you. To be considered for ALL scholarships, you need to complete ALL of the scholarship applications that are shown to you. Based your responses to the various scholarship applications & your educational data in our system, you will be automatically matched up to scholarships that you meet the basic criteria for.
If you are ready to start the scholarship application(s), go back to the Home page & click on the Student link. You will use your Pipeline username & password to log into the system.
Eligibility for scholarships with a criteria of "Financial Need" is determined based off the student's SAI from the most recent FAFSA on file. You must have a current year FAFSA on file with MTSU in order to be considered for any scholarships with a financial need requirement. At MTSU, when determining whether a student has Financial Need or not for scholarships, we require an SAI of less than or equal to 9,000.
