Being A Scholar
MSP helps Jayhawks grow as leaders in their field and community while providing access to professional and community-based opportunities.
Expectations of MSP Participants
MSP scholarships can be renewed for up to four years or through graduation, whichever comes first. Students must meet the following requirements to maintain their scholarships:
- Be enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student (minimum 12 hours a semester)
- Maintain a cumulative KU GPA of a 2.0
- Meet program involvement requirements as set by Central MSP and school specific MSP directors including attendance at mandatory scholarship events and one-on-one meetings with the program director
*any exceptions to these requirements must be approved by the MSP director through your school/college and Central MSP Director
Mentoring
Scholars are paired with a faculty or staff mentor from their school/college to provide individual attention, facilitate access to opportunities beyond the classroom, and guidance around academic goals.
Social and Community-based Events
Students are encouraged to participate in social and community-based events through the MSP program and across campus. These programs are meant to enhance the student experience and increase understanding of the varied experiences of students at the University of Kansas.
