Students are encouraged to check with navigators and faculty if they have questions.
At a press conference last week, Missouri Governor Mike Parson announced that he was lifting COVID-19 restrictions in Missouri. “At some point, government has to get out of the way and let people live their lives and regulate their own selves,” Parson said. “We are at that time in the state of Missouri.”

Students who have earned the Missouri A+ Scholarship can use those funds at State Fair Community College. In response to the disruption in higher education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development has made some changes for students who are renewing their awards for fall.
One accommodation, which applies to A+ and Fast Track funds, covers the full 2020-2021 academic year (fall and spring semesters) and allows students to renew awards in the 2020-2021 academic year if they meet satisfactory academic progress as defined by the school at the end of the spring 2020 semester. These students will be eligible to renew their awards for the 2020-2021 academic year, even if the school requires less than a 2.5 GPA. Contact SFCC’s Financial Aid and Veteran Services at finaid@sfccmo.edu or (660) 530-5834 for more information about A+ or other financial aid assistance.
SFCC offers more than 70 transfer, career or technical associate degrees or short-term certificates in agriculture, business and computers, health sciences, human services, and industrial technology. Associate transfer degrees allow students to complete their first two years at SFCC before continuing to a four-year college or university to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Prospective students may apply online free at www.sfccmo.edu/admissions. For assistance, email admissions@sfccmo.edu or call (660) 530-5833. All campuses are closed to the public until Aug. 3, but staff are answering phones and emails.
