2010 Missouri Scholars Academy

MSA is grateful to the Missouri legislature for identifying partial state funding for the 2010 Missouri Scholars Academy (June 13 July 3, 2010). MSA administrators are working with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and with the University of Missouri to finalize a funding plan for MSA XXVI. Steps have been undertaken so that the same number of scholars will be be served (330) as in the past.

The selection process will again be conducted by D.E.S.E. and the same tests that have been required In the past will continue to be required.

There will be a "Student Activity Fee" ($500) charged each scholar, with payment due by mid-May, 2010. MSA expects that for some scholars, schools or civic clubs will cover this fee. In situations where neither schools nor civic clubs can cover the fee for a student from a family with economic hardship, steps will be taken so that the fee is covered or reduced.

Additional details about MSA 2010 will be posted on this website as it becomes available.
