Missouri S&T welcomes international sponsored students from around the world. For more than ten years, the Office of International Enrollment has served as a liaison between students, sponsors and the campus community.
Sponsored students receives financial support from an outside organization, such as a corporation, nonprofit organization, or foreign government. These sponsoring agencies are the primary source of funding for the students’ educational expenses. Students receiving financial support through academic departments are not considered sponsored students. A third-party billing agreement is established between Missouri S&T and the sponsoring agency. Sponsors provide their students a financial guarantee letter that specifies the educational costs that are covered by their scholarship.
