The Williams Scholars Program

A scholarship that fuels uncommon will, from the start.

Named after MSU’s inaugural president and first lady, the Williams Scholarship is the university’s first full-ride scholarship covering tuition, room and board, books and supplies, and an experiential learning opportunity. By activating high-achieving students, engaged faculty and industry partners, this investment does more than change individual lives. It creates a bright future for everyone.
