How can you help? 

• Volunteer for a chapter leadership position – event/activity leads or points of contact, president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, student recruiting, community service, game-watch gatherings, social media, and board members.  If you can't commit to a leader position, could you commit to helping with one event or activity? 

• Activities for 2026 – Send-off Party to welcome new MSU students, regular board meetings, community service activity, annual chapter meeting, community events, supper club, MSU game-watch gatherings. The possibilities are endless. 

If you're an alumnus or friend of MSU who lives in Lincoln or Copiah County, based on your mailing address with the MSU Alumni Association, you're automatically a member of this chapter. An annual gift to Mississippi State made through the MSU Foundation makes you an active member of the MSU Alumni Association and the Lincoln-Copiah Chapter.

Financial support is important to the success of the Lincoln-Copiah Chapter. There are two ways to support through the MSU Foundation.

Chapter Scholarship

The Lincoln-Copiah Chapter has established an endowed scholarship fund to be awarded to entering freshmen from Lincoln County. Help us grow these funds by making a tax-deductible gift, in any amount, below.

Advancement Fund

The Lincoln-Copiah 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. Help us grow these funds by making a tax-deductible gift, in any amount, below.

• Lincoln-Copiah Chapter Advancement Fund

To use a check, make checks payable to MSU Foundation and send to:
MSU Foundation, P.O. Box 6149, Mississippi State, MS 39762

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.
