BEGINNING NEXT FALL, even more students will have access to the Northeast Missouri Scholarship at Truman.

The NEMO Scholarship has been expanded to include Clark, Lewis, Shelby and Marion counties, bringing the total number of eligible counties to 12. This expansion will be effective for fall 2026 incoming students.

Offered for the first time in the 2025-26 academic year, the scholarship provides $2,000 for students living on campus. Students from the area not living on campus can still receive $1,000.

“Including more counties for the NEMO Scholarship is a natural next step as we continue to celebrate the region we call home,” said Allison Schweizer, director of admission. “Truman is committed to empowering students from northeast Missouri and investing in their future success.”

Incoming students who reside in the counties above are eligible for the Northeast Missouri Scholarship

The full list of counties eligible for this scholarship includes Adair, Putnam, Schuyler, Scotland, Knox, Macon, Linn, Sullivan, Clark, Lewis, Shelby and Marion. All new admitted Truman students from these 12 northeast Missouri counties are automatically eligible for the scholarship, which is renewable each year the student attends. No additional application is required. Transfer students who meet certain criteria and hail from the applicable counties may also be eligible to receive the award.
