Will To Do Award
A new need-based aid scholarship for eligible Pell students
We created the Will To Do Award because about 40% of our students receive Pell grants, but we understand that it isn’t always enough to pay for college. And, we think everyone should have access to an education.
Here's how it works:
- A Federal Pell Grant is money from the federal government to pay for your education. It is a grant, not a loan. The amount is based on your family’s income.
- The Will To Do Award ensures you will pay $0 Tuition and General Fees, by covering any remaining amount after applying Pell, Access Missouri, and other tuition specific grants/scholarships.
- This means you’d pay $0 in tuition and general fees.
