Missouri State’s leadership on student debt becomes even more pronounced when we look at the profile of the defaulting students. More than 98 percent of Missouri State’s defaulting students left the university without a degree (i.e., they “dropped out”). Almost without exception, students who earn a degree from Missouri State pay back their federal student loans. MSU’s success in helping students manage student loans can be attributed to several factors:

First, tuition at Missouri State is significantly lower than at other universities. This allows students to receive a high-quality education without having to leverage their futures.

When used responsibly, federal loans allow underprivileged students to borrow $25,000 as an investment that increases their lifetime earnings by more than $1 million. Missouri State University’s leadership on default rates and average student loan debt provides an example of how federal financial aid can improve peoples’ lives without contributing to the student-loan crisis. PRIORITY: MAINTAIN SUPPORT FOR MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY WITH AN INFLATIONARY INCREASE IN OPERATING APPROPRIATIONS

Last year the General Assembly increased Missouri State’s operating appropriation by $10 million. This mitigated the gap in state funding per student between Missouri State and the other universities. Legislators worked hard for this appropriation increase, and Missouri State’s students will forever be changed because of this investment. Thank you for your support!

Advanced Technology (GOCAT) in West Plains.

LOOKING AHEAD For fiscal year 2021, Missouri State University requests that the buying power of its ongoing appropriations be maintained. This requires only an inflationary increase in state funding to pay for customary increases in ordinary business expenses, such as: MOSERS employer contributions. Health care and medical plan costs. Insurance premiums. Costs for labor, technology, utilities and facilities.

An inflationary increase in operating appropriations is the top legislative priority for all of Missouri’s public universities for fiscal year 2021. PRIORITY: APPROPRIATE $4.85 MILLION IN MATCHING CAPITAL FUNDS TO RENOVATE MISSOURI STATE’S PROFESSIONAL BUILDING
