Office of Grants and Sponsored Programs
The Office of Grants & Sponsored Programs was established to provide support for educational, scholarly, and creative activities on campus. We provide support for project development, budget development, grants administration, and partnership building internal and external to Western. This office also reviews all outgoing requests for funding to ensure compliance with institutional and governmental regulations, as well as the expressed guidelines of the prospective funding agent.

Accounting Services
The Office of Accounting Services maintains the accounting and budgetary systems at Missouri Western State University. This office provides timely, useful budget information, and services to all constituencies (e.g., general accounting, budgetary oversight, accounts payable, and treasury functions).
