Our Vision

Our Promise to Students:

Quality Education Within Your Reach

Missouri State University is dedicated to developing educated, enlightened and ethical persons. This has always been our ultimate promise to students and the community.

Our Promise will allow us to take our commitment to students to the next level.

Scholarships transform the lives of young people. These gifts strengthen the University immediately by allowing us to enroll the most talented, diverse and promising students, regardless of their ability to pay. They also improve our ability to keep Missouri’s finest students here at home and attract the best and brightest from other places. Many of these students remain in the area after graduation, strengthening our community.

Now, more than ever, schools must compete to capture the attention of high-achieving students. Strong financial-aid offerings help our University to thrive. Your contribution will keep education within the reach of every deserving student — and will allow us to keep tuition at reasonable levels.

Your gift can also give students the amazing experience that set the great universities apart from the rest. Private donations can send anthropology majors to digs, bolster science and technology research, help nurture the business leaders of tomorrow — and so much more.

You will fulfill dreams by supporting the needs of students.

There is no finer promise to make to the future generations.
