• Students should apply to the MDHEWD Scholarship before applying for OTC’s in-house dual credit scholarship as there are more funds available through the state.
• Please note: The state requires that students verify their social security number and provide a state-issued ID before funds can be awarded. Students should check their OTC email for communication from [email protected] concerning any additional documentation needed before funds can be processed.
• Further questions about this option can be directed to MDHE at 573-751-1766, or through your state scholarship portal.

OTC Dual Credit Scholarship- Must Apply After Successful Registration in Dual Credit Classes and Before the Deadline.

• Students with a financial need can apply for assistance with the cost of their dual credit class(es) via OTC’s Dual Credit Scholarship. Examples of financial need may include a recent job loss of a primary caretaker, recent medical expenses to the student or immediate family member, and/or for students on free and reduced lunch at their high school.
• You will be prompted to log in with your OTC credentials. Once logged in, you will be taken directly to the application. \

The scholarship opportunity is competitive and limited to available funds each semester. Therefore, students and families with financial needs are encouraged to apply to the state Dual Credit Scholarship first and plan to cover costs if the student is not selected to receive funds.

Those who apply will continue to receive payment reminders until all balances are paid in full. Applicants not selected for the scholarship are still responsible for the full OTC balance.

All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application via the email address(es).

Students who are able to pay their dual credit account but encounter a financial need afterward can contact us at [email protected] for additional resources.

Fall Semester: Applications open on September 1st and close on October 1st.
Spring Semester: Applications open on February 1st and close on March 1st.
