There are variety of scholarship opportunities available to ACP students.
Students demonstrating financial need may be eligible to receive a dual credit scholarship from the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development (MDHEWD). To be considered for this scholarship, students must submit an application to MDHEWD. Please note that this is separate from the ACP application and has its own deadlines for Fall and Spring semesters. For more information, visit the MDHEWD website.
The UMSL ACP also offers in-house scholarships for students. Every semester, partner high schools are allotted a limited number of student scholarships, which schools then distribute among their students. One "full" scholarship covers the cost of one dual credit course (regardless of total credit hours) for one student. For more information, please contact your school counselor or dual credit coordinator.
Individual ACP teachers are also awarded one student scholarship for their attendance of an ACP professional development workshop. Each certificate can cover the cost of one dual credit course (regardless of total credit hours) for one student. You may consult your ACP teacher to see if a certificate is available for use.
