A+ Program

As economical as it is to get an education at St. Louis Community College, we know that many students need financial assistance to attend. A state-administered program can save you thousands of dollars.

The A+ Schools program, initiated in 1993 by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, allows qualifying students who graduate from designated A+ high schools to receive free tuition and fees at public two-year colleges, including St. Louis Community College. Graduates of any designated A+ high school within the state of Missouri may attend St. Louis Community College as part of this program. For more information, visit the state of Missouri’s A+ Web site.

A+ designated high schools within STLCC’s service area include:

• Affton
• Fox
• Hancock
• Hazelwood Central
• Hazelwood East
• Hazelwood West
• Lindbergh
• McCluer South - Berkeley
• McCluer
• McCluer North
• Mehlville
• Northwest High School 
• Oakville
• Pacific
• Pattonville
• Ritenour High School
• Riverview Gardens
• Seckman
• Valley Park
• Webster Groves

To be eligible, students must:

• Complete an A+ agreement form during their sophomore year (forms are available in high school counseling departments).
• Stay in an A+ school for the next three years.
• Maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
• Attend school at least 95 percent of the time.
• Tutor or teach younger students for 50 hours without pay.
• Demonstrate good citizenship and avoid the illegal use of drugs and/or alcohol.
• Make a good faith effort to secure all available federal postsecondary student financial aid assistance funds that do not require repayment.
• Male students must register under the United States Military Selective Service Act and show proof of such registration.

To keep the A+ grant, students must enroll at STLCC full time and maintain at least a 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale.

If you attend any A+ designated school within the state and need more information about the A+ program, contact your high school guidance counselor.
