 A+ Schools Program

The A+ Scholarship Program provides scholarship funds to eligible graduates of A+ designated high schools who attend a participating public community college or vocational/technical school, or certain private two-year vocational/technical schools.  This is a Missouri scholarship and can only be used at approved Missouri two-year institutions.  Some four-year institutions offer A+ scholarships for students meeting A+ criteria, but it does not cover the full cost of tuition.  Students have 48 months (4 years) after the graduation date documented on the high school transcript to use the scholarship funds.
 
Students must meet all A+ requirements to be eligible.  Further details about eligibility and the application of the A+ program Scholarship are available on the Missouri Department of Higher Education Website.
