The Sponsored Student Program staff will serve as your main point of contact at the University of Missouri for any concerns relating to application requirements, admission procedures and issues related to your sponsorship. Our goal is to help students and sponsors from the point of inquiry to placement and throughout their academic program.

If you are a prospective student and have already secured sponsorship funding or are in the process of securing your funding, our team can assist you through the application and admission process, including:
- Questions about MU academic programs.
- Questions regarding non-degree, undergraduate and graduate admission requirements, application procedures and materials required.
- Contact with appropriate departmental faculty and staff.
- Contact with current sponsored students for questions about life on campus.

Please review the application instructions for government-sponsored students. We encourage prospective students to contact the Sponsored Student Program with any questions by email (musponsoredstudentprogram@missouri.edu).
