An new opportunity is available for Joplin residents through MOScholars. MOScholars is a program offered through the Bright Futures Fund that supports families seeking a Catholic education for their child(ren). This is a scholarship opportunity open to students entering either Kindergarten, 1st Grade, or students transferring from public school for the 2024-2025 school year. The best part about this program - once a student qualifies and is awarded a scholarship, their scholarship follows them through graduation.

If you would like to see if your child qualifies for this opportunity you can click the link below. Once you are on the webpage click the red button for "Springfield, Joplin, and Cape Girardeau Schools Pre-qualification Application 2024-2025 School Year." If you have more than one child entering Kindergarten, 1st Grade, or is transferring from the public schools please know that you will need to submit a prequalification form for each child.

If you know someone who is interested in being educated in our schools, and fits the criteria of being a Joplin resident with a child entering Kindergarten, 1st Grade, or would be transferring from the public schools - please share this information with them. We cannot wait to see how this opportunity helps families and impacts our Joplin Area Catholic Schools.

Learn more and begin the application process by visiting MoScholars and clicking on the link for more information.
