<p>Here is the message, a bit abridged:</p>
<p>…all out-of-state resident who are NMSF and who are eligible for Honors college are awarded Professorial Assistantships. PA’s work on research for 10 hours a week…PA’s recieve the Tuition Grant (valued at $18,000 a year for four years) as well as a annual research stipend ($2500 a year)</p>
<p>Merit Recognition award: all NMF who choose MSU as first choice provides full cost of room and board plus a annual stipend worth about $12000 per year. </p>
<p>The combination of Tuition grant and Merit Recognition can grant significant scholarship support to an OOS NMF who attends MSU</p>
<p>So maybe not as much as I first thought because the 12000 is room and board mainly. what do you think? is MSU a decent school right?</p>
