About this scholarship

U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents admitted to Ohio State's Columbus campus as first-year students may compete for the Morrill Scholarship Program by indicating interest on the admission application and completing the MSP essay. The November 1 early-action deadline is strongly recommended.

Award tiers are Distinction (full cost of attendance), Prominence (in-state tuition plus nonresident surcharge), and Excellence (in-state tuition). Dollar amounts vary by tier.

MSP rewards academically talented students actively engaged in diversity-based leadership, service, and social justice activities who will contribute to campus diversity and inclusion.
