Full-Time Undergraduate Students

New full-time freshmen and transfer students (enrolled in 12 or more credit hours per semester) from Edcor-partnered employers may be eligible for a UMSL Scholarship ranging from $2,500 to $6,500 per year, based on GPA.

Please note: If you qualify for a scholarship as a full-time student, it will replace the standard UMSL tuition discount offered through your employer’s partnership. You can still apply your employer’s tuition reimbursement to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, but you may still have a remaining balance.
