The Yellowjacket Excellence Scholarship: The YES (Yellowjacket Excellence Scholarship) at MSUB is more than just financial aid—it’s a commitment to fostering student success at both the University Campus and City College. By supporting the YES Award, you ensure that deserving students have the funding they need to complete their education over two or four years, allowing them to focus on their academic and personal growth without the burden of financial uncertainty.

In today’s competitive landscape, providing robust scholarship opportunities is essential to attracting and retaining top students who will excel in the classroom and beyond. Your support helps MSUB keep pace with peer institutions, ensuring that we remain a destination of choice for talented students seeking an excellent education and a bright future.

Yellowjacket Student Crisis Fund: We have countless stories of students whose academic journeys were disrupted by circumstances beyond their control. In many cases, all they needed was a small amount of support to get back on track. While the awards are often just a few hundred dollars, their impact is immeasurable. For many, these funds make the difference between continuing their education and having to withdraw. With a little help, we can make a world of difference in our students’ lives and ensure they have the opportunity to succeed.
