Scholarships Available to A+ Students
Based on 2017 Information (12/2017)
The A+ Schools Program is funded through the State of Missouri for Missouri community colleges and vocational/technical schools. However, some 4-year colleges in Missouri are offering their own A+ scholarships. These scholarships are determined by the colleges themselves and may or may not be offered at any time. CHECK WITH THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE AT 4-YEAR COLLEGES AND ASK IF THEY OFFER ANY INCENTIVES FOR A+ STUDENTS.
A+ benefits at community colleges or state vocational/technical schools are only available for full-time students.
