“With nearly 4,000 students currently benefiting from the Spartan Tuition Advantage, this increased investment reflects our land-grant legacy of broadening access to higher education,” said MSU President Kevin M. Guskiewicz, Ph.D.

Additionally, from now until Oct. 15, MSU is waiving the application fee for all first-year in-state applicants with the code Spartan1855.
