What is the A+ Program?

attend any public community college or
technical school in the state of Missouri.
What are the requirements?

consecutive years prior to graduation.

Perform 50 hours of unpaid tutoring on Francis
Howell School District premises.

Earn a 43 on the Compass Pre-Algebra Section
Earn a 1 on the Compass Algebra Section

What about the funding?
As of fall 2014, the state issued a memo sharing
that the funds for A+ may be REDUCED for next
year by up to 4 credit hours per semester
What this means: You MAY have to pay for up
to 4 credits of the total number of credits you
take each semester. Ex. SCC costs $95 per
credit hour for local students, so it could cost you
up to $380 per semester for tuition.
This is a Possibility, not for sure at this time.
