Friendly reminders for the Class of 2028---
The My Missouri (MyMO) Scholarship Promise Class of 2028 application is open for current high school freshman until March 1, 2025. They have recently seen an increase in applications.
Not all freshmen will be eligible for this program. They are trying to help students who may not typically be able to attend college, and the family will have to display exceptional financial need when completing the Federal Student Aid Estimator (SAI of 7,395 or less).
In addition to the estimator, they will need a 2.5+ GPA, 90+% attendance, and proof of opening a MOST 529 account with at least a $1 deposit.
Once the application closes on March 1, they will review all applications and make selections to find the best-suited candidates. Encourage your students to apply no later than March 1!
