Giving Day is your opportunity to make an impact on graduate education at Missouri State University.
The Graduate College collaborates with academic colleges across campus to empower over 3,800 students in more than 200 different programs- including graduate certificates, master’s, specialist, and doctoral degrees. These programs equip students to be leaders in their chosen fields.
Beginning with admission and continuing through graduation, the Graduate College supports students through scholarships, research funding, and professional development opportunities. We facilitate the awarding of graduate student scholarships and funding associated with research and travel to professional conferences. We also partner with Graduate Student Senate to ensure we are responsive to the needs of our students.
Giving Day 2025 offers a unique opportunity to allow us to provide additional support to graduate students. Your donation to the Masterson Scholarship Fund goes directly to students and their research, increasing the impact of their graduate education.
Plus, we’re celebrating Dean Julie Masterson’s retirement, so she, along with Associate Dean Dr. Carrisa Hoelscher will match your donation up to $5,000.
