The MOACAC Bridge to College Scholarship

This scholarship is designed to support students who fall in the financial aid gap—those who have some financial need but not enough to qualify for significant need-based aid. The scholarship aims to help close the remaining funding gap for Missouri students who are dedicated to attending a MOACAC member institution.
