In partnership with Sallie Mae and the MOST 529 Education Plan, Missouri State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick is scheduled host a free webinar focused on finding scholarship opportunities and paying for higher education. The webinar is scheduled to be held via Zoom at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 10.

A press release says November is National Scholarship Month which raises awareness about scholarship opportunities for current and future college students. For those seeking scholarships to pay for higher education, November is an ideal time to begin the search and application process.

Earlier this year, Treasurer Fitzpatrick launched the Show Me the Money Scholarship Search Engine which connects Missouri students with scholarship and grant opportunities tailored to their skills. The search engine was made possible through a partnership with Sallie Mae and gathers more than six million scholarships worth over $30 billion in one place. The search engine can be found on Treasurer Fitzpatrick’s Financial Literacy Portal <https://treasurer.mo.gov/financial-literacy/>.

The free virtual event will feature speakers from Sallie Mae, a nationwide consumer banking institution specializing in private student loans, and MOST, Missouri’s 529 Education Plan.
