MSFS Futures Scholarships will be awarded to students whose background or experience, when evaluated holistically, suggests they are uniquely able to contribute to the diversity of the MSFS community. Factors that may be considered include a student’s socioeconomic, cultural and/or family background (i.e., first-in-family to attend college, parents’ level of education and income, region of residence, high school attended), personal experiences and challenges and/or demonstrated ability to develop and support diversity and cultural understanding.
