- Our Alumni Chapter provides scholarships to local students attending Mississippi State University MSU. We provided 8 scholarships this year by using the funds held in our endowment accounts at MSU that totaled 14,000 in scholarships. This 14,000 was used to award 5 2,000 scholarships to Senior high school students who attend high schools within the Hinds Madison and Rankin County areas. We also awarded 2 1,000 scholarships to Junior College transfer students. In addition we awarded one student the Carlie Nichols Scholarship in the amount of 2,000. Our scholarships are meant to aid deserving students who want to attend MSU but are in need of financial assistance. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need grades ACT scores leadership ability and character. The majority of monies raised by our Chapter are used to fund scholarships. Our long-term goal is to be able to raise more funds through donations contribution and fundraising to provide additional scholarship
