MO HB594

Creates the Missouri Promise Scholarship Program administered by the Coordinating Board for Higher Education to cover tuition and mandatory fees for Missouri residents pursuing associate's degrees, certificates, or diplomas at eligible two-year or four-year institutions

Requires recipients to enroll full-time in the fall term after high school graduation, complete FAFSA annually, maintain satisfactory academic progress, and participate in mentoring and community service programs

Limits scholarship eligibility to 2.5 years from initial enrollment or until earning a certificate, diploma, or associate degree; caps awards at four-year institutions to the average cost of public two-year institution tuition

Excludes students participating in the A+ Schools Program from eligibility and diverts state financial aid previously authorized for WGU-Missouri (Executive Order 13-04) to fund this program

Establishes the Missouri Promise Scholarship Fund in the state treasury and includes a 6-year sunset provision requiring legislative reauthorization
