    I live in Florida and Missouri Western is extremely cheap for out-of-state students like myself. Going to school in Florida can be real expensive.

    Not only is MWSU a wonderful environment, it's also affordable. It is under half the price of a lot of school in the same area. MWSU also offers a ton of scholarships and even accepts A plus. Why break the bank when you can put it in the bank?

    The tuition at Missouri Western is the lowest in the state of Missouri for Division 2 schools. Also if you are a Missouri high school student then you are eligible for the A+ program which grants you all your tuition paid for, for the first couple semesters.
