MSU values the cultural contribution of international students to our university. All new undergraduate students are automatically awarded this scholarship. To maintain the International Maverick Scholarship beyond the first year, students must meet ALL of the following criteria:
- Maintain valid F-1 or J-1 immigration status
- Achieve a term GPA of 2.5 or a cumulative Minnesota State Mankato GPA of 3.0
- Successfully earn/complete a minimum of 12 credits each semester (completed credits are grades A-D and P. F, W, I, IP and NC do not count)
- Complete 30 hours of volunteer service each academic year
Students who do not meet the scholarship requirements at the end of the spring 2025 semester will lose their scholarship for summer 2025 and the 2025-2026 academic year.
