The University of Missouri-St. Louis maintains an Office of Student Financial Aid to assist students with the cost of their education.  Financial assistance is available in the form of grants, loans, scholarships and work-study.  Funds for these programs are available from federal, private, state and institutional resources.  To apply for financial aid, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  Preference will be given to those students who have completed the FAFSA by April 1^st.  Preference means that the financial aid office will begin awarding FWS (Federal College Work-study), Federal SEOG (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant) and Federal Perkins Loan funds.  A completed financial aid application means that the Financial Aid Office has received an official Student Aid Report from the Federal Processing Center.

The Student Financial Aid Office publishes a Scholarship Directory each year.  Students can obtain a catalog by writing or stopping by the financial aid office located in room 209 Woods Hall.

To be considered for all University Scholarships offered through the Financial Aid Office, you must be accepted for admission.  We will consider you for University Scholarships based on your admission information.  Currently enrolled students are considered automatically.  Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis for the upcoming new academic year beginning November 1 of the preceding year.

We encourage students to contact the department in which they are majoring for other possibilities for scholarships.
