The starting point
Missouri S&T awards automatic merit at admission on a residency-split scale — $1,000-$10,000/yr for Missourians and $16,000-$26,000/yr for out-of-state students — and tops out with competitive full-tuition-and-fees awards, but the automatic packages can't be combined with those top awards and out-of-state merit is forfeited if you become a Missouri resident.
More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.
