Financial Support of individuals and businesses is also important to the success of the Washington County Chapter. There are two ways to support through the MSU Foundation.
Chapter Scholarship

Advancement Fund
The Washington County Chapter Advancement Fund supports the chapter's goals and initiatives. Gifts to this fund help pay for activities and events hosted by the chapter, which ultimately supports the chapter scholarship.

Washington County Chapter Scholarships
The Washington County Chapter supports two different scholarship programs.
1. Operated on their own and administered through the chapter's own application process at the high schools, scholarship committee and funding.
2. Through the MSU Foundation - based on funds available.
Applications for scholarships are available through the student application for admission after receiving admittance to MSU. Students who complete the scholarship information after admittance to Mississippi State will automatically be considered if the required criteria is 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.
