It is available for new international undergraduate students.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>How it works: Awards are decided on the basis of your GPA as calculated by our international admissions team. Because Missouri Western recognizes that U.S. standardized testing is not equally available in all parts of the world, there is no SAT or ACT required for the Black and Gold Scholarship (or admission). The best part is that you are not at risk of losing your scholarship as long as you maintain a 2.0 GPA at Missouri Western State University.<\/p>\n<p>There is no extra application for the Black and Gold Scholarship. All awards will be made with your acceptance letter.
