MOScholars scholarships can be used by students attending eligible Missouri schools. Per statute, eligible schools include a Family Paced Education (FPE) school as defined in
section 167.013 or any of the following
entities that is incorporated in Missouri and that does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin:
- A charter school as defined in section 160.400;
- A private school;
- A public school as defined in section 160.011; or
- A public or private virtual school located in Missouri.
All schools must be partnered with a certified Educational Assistance Organization (EAO), and all schools other than FPE schools must be accredited through one of the
approved accrediting associations to be an eligible school within the program.
If your school would like to become eligible to accept the MOScholars scholarships, please contact the Educational Assistance Organization(s) that you are interested in working with.

FPE school students interested in applying for MOScholars should first connect with an EAO to understand the EAO’s capacity for, and any requirements of, partnering with
FPE schools. Next, students will complete a prescreening with the EAO, and if eligible, move on to the submission of an application.
