College of Agriculture & Natural Resources Academics

The MSU Alumni Distinguished Scholarship (ADS) is a 1-day scholarship competition held the last Friday in January and the first Friday in February. High-achieving students that apply to MSU by mid-October and are invited to the Honors College, are invited to compete at ADS. Scholarships are awarded to approximately 45 candidates based on intellectual performance and participation in the competition. Awardees also receive a Professorial Assistantship.

During the competition, students have the opportunity to learn more about MSU and different majors, including majors within the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Students invited to participate who have already selected a major within CANR will receive additional information prior to the competition.

Learn more about ADS and other high-achieving student scholarships through MSU Admissions.
