The governors proposal would provide an estimated 19,000 additional students access to scholarships every year.
Jefferson City, Mo. – in fo Zine - Education is my highest priority, and I will continue to enhance opportunities for all Missouris students, Blunt said. The new funding I have recommended for scholarships will significantly expand students access to college and higher education opportunities. Simply put, our plan provides more scholarships for more students.
Following recommendations from the State Student Financial Aid Committee the governor recommended combining the states two needs based scholarship programs into one new program called Access Missouri. The program offers a scholarship solution that will level the playing field for all applicants and ensure that Missouris neediest students receive aid. Access Missouri will also make it easier for Missouri families to plan for college because the scholarship will be more predictable
