The Honors Access Housing Award is a highly-selective award that supports Honors students with financial need.

Award Amount and Expectations

Honors Access Housing Award recipients will receive a one-time scholarship, covering one year of on-campus room and board.  This award will cover your cost of housing and dining for your first year on campus. This award will cover costs to live in Honors housing regardless of price or cost as listed on bill up to published cost of attendance for room and board. Award is non-deferrable and cannot be combined with any other housing award.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for this award you must be admitted to Honors by priority deadline (Feb. 1). You must file a FAFSA and meet priority deadline, and the FAFSA must deem you pell-eligible. For fall 2025, this award is only open to Missouri residents. We hope to notify award winners by March 2025.
