The A+ Scholarship Program provides eligible Brentwood High School graduates with financial support to attend a participating Missouri public community college, career or technical school, or approved private two-year career or technical school. The scholarship helps cover the unpaid balance of tuition and general fees after all available, non-loan federal financial aid has been applied.
