The A+ program is a state funded program that was implemented by the state of Missouri to improve Missouri high schools. Participation in the A+ program is voluntary and is available to all students in grades 9-12 (unless they have been previously eliminated from participating because of violating the A+ good citizen ship policy). The primary goal of the A+ Schools Program is to ensure that all students who graduate from Missouri high schools are well prepared to pursue advanced education and employment.
Students who graduate from a designated A+ high school may qualify for a state-paid financial incentive to attend any public community college or career/technical school in Missouri in the student successfully meets the following requirements.
48 months after completion of high school coursework
Completion of 105% of the hours required for the program in which you are currently enrolled
To maintain the A+ tuition benefit, students must be a full-time student (as defined by the college) and working toward the completion of an approved program. Students must maintain a minimum, unrounded, cumulative GPA of 2.500.
