Per statute, a qualified student must meet requirements established by Missouri Revised Statutes 166.700(9).

Qualified students must also meet one of the following criteria:

1. Have an approved “individualized education plan” developed under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The term “individualized education plan” means an individualized education program (IEP) as defined in 20 U.S.C. §1414(d)(I)(A)(i). Students with ISPs that are not developed under the IDEA are not eligible.
2. Is a member of a household whose total annual income does not exceed an amount equal to 300% of the income standard used to qualify for free and reduced lunches, and meets at least one of the following:
   • Attended a public school as a full-time student for at least one semester during the previous twelve months; or
   • Is a child who is eligible to begin kindergarten or first grade; or
   • Is a sibling of a qualified student who received a scholarship grant in the previous school year and will receive a scholarship grant in the current school year.

Income eligibility guidelines are determined annually by the federal government. You can find that information here.

Parents and students interested in applying to MOScholars should carefully review the Parent Handbook for eligibility criteria, eligible expenses, and other MOScholars program criteria. Next, parents and students identify and contact a certified EAO partnering with the school the student wishes to attend. EAOs are responsible for prescreening students for eligibility, and then providing access to the online MOScholars application.

A list of certified EAOs can be found at: https://treasurer.mo.gov/MOScholars/EAOs.

To learn more about each EAO and the schools they partner with, please contact the EAO directly.
