The purpose of the Morgridge Family Opportunity Scholarship is to provide renewable scholarships for incoming freshman who are academically promising and who are Pell-eligible to reduce the amount borrowed for educational purposes. Preference will be given to students from Belknap, Coos, Grafton, Strafford, Sullivan and Carroll counties of New Hampshire and those who are first generation in their families to attend university. Students will be chosen by the MFOS scholarship committee.
The Morgridge Family Opportunity Scholarship is an award for incoming freshmen and at $3,000 per year – $12,000 over four years, is one of the larger scholarship awards at PSU. Once selected as a recipient, the award will automatically renew to the student’s account as long as they are a student at PSU and remain in good academic standing.
