Missouri Western will expand its scholarship for A+ certified high school graduates from Missouri.<\/p>\n
\u201cA+ students are committed to their education and good citizens of their community, and they have a lot to contribute to the vitality\u00a0of our campus,\u201d said Dr. Melissa Mace, vice president for enrollment management.<\/p>\n
Missouri students who are A+ certified have attended a designated high school with a minimum grade point average of 2.5, an attendance record of at\u00a0least 95 percent, performed at least 50 hours of unpaid tutoring or mentoring, maintained a record of good citizenship by avoiding illegal drug and alcohol use, and achieved a score of proficient or advanced on an end-of-course exam in mathematics.<\/p>\n
Those students will receive an A+\u00a0 scholarship of at least\u00a0$500 per year, with additional scholarship amounts earned based on performance on the ACT\/SAT (up to $850 A+ scholarship dollars per academic year). Students\u00a0who earn the A+ certified stamp on their transcript are also eligible for Missouri Western\u2019s Griffon Guarantee Scholarship, so their\u00a0scholarship will grow as long as they remain enrolled full time with a minimum GPA of 2.0.<\/p>\n
The expansion of Missouri Western\u2019s A+ Scholarship was in response to conversations that Dr. Elizabeth Kennedy, interim president, had with guidance\u00a0counselors from area high schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
