Missouri State Financial Aid Portal
The Missouri State Financial Aid Portal is a secure student-based website that allows students to learn more about their own state financial aid.
Program Description:
Missouri’s State Financial Aid Portal is a secure website available to all graduating high school seniors in the state that provides information on the status of their state financial aid, including scholarships and grants. The portal is sponsored by the Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development which funds the entirety of Missouri’s Journey to College program, an initiative providing information about college options to Missouri students each year through publications, social media, and events, including the Financial Aid Portal, Apply Missouri, and Decision Day.
Impact:
The Missouri State Financial Aid Portal provides students with the opportunity to see their aid options in real time, all while providing information around tuition, fees, and other expenses. The website also has resources to help students minimize student loan debt and explore the different grants and scholarships the state offers to students. Missouri wants to ensure that college is not out of reach for any student due to their financial needs.
Population Served:
Any Missouri student who is applying to college and has created an account with the State Financial Aid Portal can access the portal and its resources. It also provides resources for parents and college counselors.
