Become a Missourian

Find your home in the Show-Me State

Missouri offers a five-step residency process that allows students to qualify for in-state tuition rates. You can apply for residency in any semester, but gaining residency may change your financial aid and scholarship awards. Because of this, it’s important to carefully consider whether applying is the right choice for you. You should also think about possible limitations. For example, if your scholarship only covers eight semesters and you may need more time to finish your degree, applying for residency could be helpful. Planning ahead is essential, as the process requires 12 months of preparation and active effort before you can apply.
