STATE PARTICIPATION
Expanding Education Opportunities for Families
through the MOScholars Program
For many Missouri families, finances stand between their child and a Christ-centered education.
Children’s Tuition Fund exists to help remove that barrier, connecting contributors and schools to
provide scholarships for lower-income families and students with an IEP across the state.
As an approved Educational Assistance Organization, CTF partners with Missouri schools to
identify eligible families and awards scholarships to qualifying students, all while ensuring full
compliance with state regulations.
Program Details

Scholarships are awarded to K-12 students from lower-income families and students with an IEP
