About GSP

GSP Scholarships at Morehead State
Morehead State offers two scholarships for alumni of the Governor’s Scholars Program, the Governor’s School for the Arts, and the Governor's School for Entrepreneurs.
The Governor’s Award is worth $32,000 ($8,000 annually for four years of study) for students with a 23 ACT and 3.5 GPA. The Governor’s Award+ is $40,000 ($10,000 annually) for students with a 25 ACT and 3.5 GPA. The Governor’s Awards cannot be stacked on top of other general merit scholarships, but we encourage scholars to explore other opportunities with MSU Foundation scholarships.
