Mizzou Academy Scholarship

Mizzou Academy offers partial needs-based scholarships for high school students living in the United States. This program aligns with our core values.

For selected recipients, Mizzou Academy has a limited amount of funding to help offset the cost of our supplemental courses and diploma programs. If you or a student you know is interested in applying for a partial needs-based scholarship, please complete the application form linked below.

Our application process requires information from the student, their family, and a non-relative recommender. Please review the detailed information below about what materials you’ll need to prepare to submit your scholarship application, as well as the requirements for your recommender. If you are a new student to Mizzou Academy and have questions about graduation requirements before applying, please contact our Director of School Counseling, Amelia Howser, at howsera@missouri.edu.
