The Marguerite Ross Barnett Memorial Scholarship is a need-based scholarship. The student must be enrolled at least half time, but less than full time. The student also must be employed and compensated for 20 or more hours per week. You must fill out a MDHE application and a FAFSA by April 1.
The “Bright Flight” Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship that encourages top-ranking high school seniors to attend college in Missouri. The annual award is $2,000 and is distributed in two payments - $1,000 per semester conditional on sufficient state appropriations. To be eligible, you must:
1. Have a composite score on the American College Testing (ACT) Program or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) in the top 3 percent of all Missouri students taking those tests (qualifying scores for 2008-2009 have not yet been determined),
2. Be a graduating high school senior (or equivalent) who enrolls as a first time, full-time student in an approved Missouri postsecondary school,
3. Be a Missouri resident and a United States citizen or an eligible non-citizen, and
4. Not be pursuing a degree or certificate in theology or divinity.
Students must achieve a qualifying test score by June.
