College doesn't have to be out of your reach due to your financial situation. There are countless financial aid options available to help students and families pay for college. Grants and scholarships are awarded to students of all ages, and eligibility is based on many different factors including financial need, academic achievement, civic involvement, athletic ability, and other skills and interests.
It is important to look into all types of student financial aid - from federal and state government, colleges and universities, community organizations, private businesses, and other sources. Students should apply for scholarships and grants every year they plan to attend college.
Missouri College & University Scholarships : Institutional grants and scholarships are awarded by the school a student attends. For more information about the financial aid opportunities offered, check the individual school website for each school you are interested in attending.
As you search for scholarships, be aware of scholarship scams.

MSBA FutureBuilders established the scholarship program in memory of John T. Belcher, who was instrumental in developing innovative financing programs for Missouri school districts. The learning environment for thousands of Missouri’s public school students improved as a result of his work.
A $1,000 annual scholarship is awarded to a student in each of MSBA’s 17 regions. Applicants are judged on the basis of academic performance, extracurricular activities, and the quality of an essay. A statewide winner is selected from this group of regional winners and awarded an additional $1,500.
How can a student apply for a Belcher scholarship?
The school board of each MSBA member district is eligible to nominate one high school senior to apply. The local board of education should select their applicant based on academic achievement and leadership abilities; need may also be considered. After the district applicant is chosen the student/guidance office should contact Janet Tilley for a link to the online application during the application period, generally from October through January. The applicant and their guidance counselor will receive confirmation and further instructions within two working days of submission. The student will need to obtain a transcript and complete the essay, if not already done.
