The Missouri
Education and Training Voucher Program offers funds to foster youth and
former foster youth to enable them to attend colleges, universities and
vocational training institutions. Students may receive up to $5000 a year
for four years as they pursue higher education. The funds may be used
for tuition, books or qualified living expenses. These funds are
available on a first-come, first-served basis to students out of the Missouri foster care
system.
Prospective students who will be pursuing a degree or a one-year
vocational training program and have economic barriers to education may
qualify for assistance through the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). Information may be obtained by calling 1-800-704-1179.
Tuition and fee assistance grants are available to qualifying adult
students who need to acquire a marketable skill through a community college.
Grant amounts are determined by a sliding scale based on the client's income,
family size and current employment status. More information may be obtained
by contacting the Financial Aid Office or by calling 1-800-866-9021.
Participating counties include: Adair, Clark, Knox, Lewis, Macon, Marion,
