Students who successfully complete the requirements of the A+ Program
can be eligible to receive reimbursement for the cost of tuition while
attending a Missouri public community college or technical school.
* Funding for the A+ program's tuition reimbursement benefit is dependent upon appropriations from the Missouri General Assembly through
the state budgeting process. Grain Valley Schools is
not responsible for the payment of A+ tuition or general fees.
- A+
students are under no obligation to use the A+ tuition benefit. The
tuition benefit is earned by each individual student and is not
transferable to any other student.
- Receipt of private scholarships will not affect an A+ participant's eligibility for tuition benefits.
- Financial
need is not a factor in determining A+ eligibility. All students are
required to complete the FAFSA, however. FAFSA (Free Application for
Federal Student Aid) forms are available in the Guidance Office in
January of each school year or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. This form
should be submitted by April 15. The A+ Office must be able to confirm
completion of this procedure for a student to receive A+ eligibility.
- Participants will have up to four years from the date of their high school graduation to access their A+ tuition benefits.
- Students
may choose to access the A+ beneift for the summer term immediately
following graduation. Students making this choice will be required to
complete the previous year's FAFSA.
- Students who graduate early are not eligible for A+ until after their class graduation ceremony.
