MSSU offers reduced tuition to area students from Ukraine 

(JOPLIN, Mo.) – Missouri Southern State University is offering reduced tuition costs for area students from Ukraine.

A Ukrainian Student Scholarship fund was created by Dr. Chris Moos, professor of international business, and his wife, Liliya, who is originally from Ukraine.

It will provide support to foreign exchange students from Ukraine who are set to graduate from area high schools in May, but will not be able to return home due to the war.

Missouri Southern will offer those students in-state tuition plus 10 percent.

Seven high-school students from Ukraine have been identified in the greater Joplin area, and 100 more within the Lion Pride in-state tuition area. The university is conducting outreach through foreign exchange programs to inform them of the scholarship and favorable tuition.

To support the scholarship, visit the Missouri Southern giving link at www.mssu.edu/ukrainescholarship.

Gifts can also be sent to Missouri Southern Foundation in care of the Ukrainian Student Scholarship Fund.
