The Missouri District became an Educational Assistance Organization under the State of Missouri Empowerment Scholarship Accounts Tax Credit Program in 2022 to support families in acquiring an Empowerment Scholarship to attend a Lutheran School of their choice in the state. Under this program, taxpayers are able to direct qualified dollars to the scholarship program and receive tax credits for their participation.

Since 2022, the Missouri District has provided scholarships totaling over $2.3 million, impacting students in 34 Lutheran Schools throughout the state. More than a quarter of these children are now experiencing their first year in a Lutheran school, making MOScholars a wonderful tool for growing God’s Kingdom. A big thank you to all taxpayers who participated in 2024!
