Murray State University: Fierce among competition
 COLLEGE CONNECTION MAGAZINE
Murray State University is consistently recognized as one of the top public universities in the country. This year has been no exception. When U.S. News & World Report released its 2009 edition of "America’s Best Colleges," Murray State found itself ranked among the top universities for the 18th consecutive year. Known as a great school that provides both academic excellence and affordability, the university offers an aggressive financial- aid program. In fact, students from Illinois and Missouri who choose to come to Murray State University find themselves with unique opportunities. The Regional Tuition Program is available in both states and can represent a dramatic savings over the usual out-of-state tuition rate. By averaging the costs of several Illinois and Missouri schools, Murray establishes the tuition rate for students from those states. It makes the cost to attend Murray equal to what students from Illinois and Missouri would pay at home. This year, students in Illinois may also benefit from a gift to MSU of approximately $1 million from MSU alumnus and Illinoisan, the late Jeff Clarke of Pecatonica, Ill. The Jeffrey J. and Sallie Clarke Endowed Scholarship created by the gift will provide multiple yearly scholarships for qualified Illinois students attending MSU, whether they come to Murray directly from high school or transfer from another institution of higher education. Murray offers a wide variety of academic choices, a top-notch faculty, a rich array of extracurricular activities and opportunities to study throughout the world. You’re invited to check it out – you will like what you find.
