Scholarships Available to A+ Students

Based on 2015 Information (11/2015)

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.
Questions? Call the A+ Office at your high school.
