WARRENSBURG, MO 鈥 The 欧美视频 (UCM) is pleased to announce
the expansion of its automatic, in-state, out-of-state scholarship program, which
now includes residents of Louisiana and Mississippi. This initiative was approved
by the UCM Board of Governors in March 2024.
Currently, the UCM Bound Out-of-State Scholarship offers a tuition reduction equivalent
to in-state tuition for residents of states with Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics
Association (MIAA) member institutions and bordering states.
鈥淧roviding in-state tuition to our newest MIAA member bordering states furthers our
commitment to offer valuable higher education degrees that are accessible and affordable,鈥
said UCM President Roger Best. 鈥淭he success of our students remains our top priority
as evidenced by our national rankings along with career placement rates that are substantially
higher than the national average. UCM is home to students from 48 states and 52 countries.
It is our privilege to welcome them to our community."
Effective July 1, 2024, the University of Arkansas 鈥 Fort Smith will join the MIAA,
thereby designating Louisiana and Mississippi as new border states. This expansion
aligns with the board's March 2021 decision to extend the non-resident tuition waiver
to all states with MIAA member institutions and their neighboring states, previously
adding five states to the scholarship program.
With this expansion, UCM continues its commitment to providing greater access and
success for students from diverse geographic regions. For more information regarding
