New Scholarships Established At Northwest Missouri State University

Northwest Missouri State University has announced a recent pledge gift to the Northwest Foundation to establish two scholarship funds.

The Brian Hesse Scholarship for Business and the Hesse Family Scholarship for Vocal Music will be given to incoming freshmen with a high school GPA of 2.5 or higher. Academic achievement and financial need will be the leading selection criteria. The scholarships will be renewable during the recipients’ sophomore, junior, and senior years as long as they maintain a cumulative college GPA of 3.0 or above.

The business scholarship will be awarded to a full-time student studying a major offered within the Melvin D. and Valorie G. Booth School of Business, and the vocal music scholarship will be awarded to a student majoring in vocal music within the Department of Fine and Performing Arts.
