Supporting the Chapter and Scholarship
Financial Support of individuals and businesses is also important to the success of the Greater Orlando, Florida Chapter. There are two ways to support through the MSU Foundation.
Chapter Scholarship
The Greater Orlando, Florida Chapter has an established scholarship fund in honor of Ellouise Hall (Ellouise Hall Memorial Endowed Scholarship / Greater Orlando, FL Alumni Chapter) to be awarded to entering freshmen from the central Florida/greater Orlando area. Help us grow this fund by making a tax-deductible gift, in any amount. Utilize secure online giving by visiting the MSU Foundation giving website.
Advancement Fund
The Huntsville-Decatur, Alabama Chapter Advancement Fund supports the chapter's goals and initiatives. Gifts to this fund help pay for activities and events hosted by the chapter, like the Send-off Party for new MSU students. Support the Greater Orlando, Florida Chapter.

MSU Foundation, P.O. Box 6149, Mississippi State, MS 39762

Greater Orlando, Florida Chapter Scholarship in memory of Ellouise Hall
Students who complete the general scholarship application after admittance to Mississippi State will automatically be considered if the established criteria of the scholarship are met.
The University Scholarship Committee administers the scholarship program at Mississippi State University. Financial need may be used as consideration in selection. Any scholarships will be awarded on a year-to-year basis.
Awards will be based on funds available. Funds will not be given directly to the recipients; rather, the university business office will credit the recipients' tuition and fees expenses each semester.
