What Missouri pays, and what that leaves you
MOScholars Tax-credit scholarship
A scholarship set each year by the State Treasurer We could not verify the 2026-27 per-student figure and will not guess it.
Figures read from each program’s official pages, 2026-09-20. Sources and how to apply
What would you pay?
Tuition and fees MOScholars pays You pay per year Spread over 10 months
We could not confirm this year’s MOScholars amount, so type in the figure from your award letter. An award can never be more than the school actually charges. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there near Manchester?
We count 109 within 12 miles of downtown Manchester. Together they enrolled about 25,847 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Greenways Academy with 3,015 students.
Which Manchester private schools take MOScholars?
Missouri keeps no statewide list of participating schools, each school partners with an assistance organization. Ask the school which one it works with.
Will MOScholars cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. MOScholars pays a scholarship set each year by the State Treasurer, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
