SML and MSSU have joined together to form an educational partnership. Starting now, you can "Learn While You Earn." Nowhwere else can you drive your way to a degree. Through MSSU's distance learning program, drivers can attend classes via the Internet while on the road!

It is an educational agreement between Sitton Motor Lines and Missouri Southern State University that allows you to work on a college degree while you continue to earn a great level of pay driving for SML.

You, as a full-time driver for SML, as well as your spouse or child--anyone in your immediate family is eligible. The scholarship will only cover one family member at a time.

Drivers signing up for the program face no costs directly from SML. As a matter of fact, drivers in this program are paid the exact same rate per mile and receive the same benefits as all new SML employees.

SILVER SCHOLARSHIP
There will be a limited number of Silver Scholarships offered to a limited number of drivers each semester. The Silver Scholarship covers 50% of tuition. The first semester, 6 credit hours are covered. In all subsequent semesters, upto 12 credit hours are covered (24 credit hour maximum per year). The SML scholarship committee will review the performance of each recipient for scholarship renewal at the end of each semester with these minimum expectations:

1. Driver must average 9500 miles per month
2. Must maintain a "C" average in classes (2.0+ GPA)
3. Must maintain employment with SML.

GOLD SCHOLARSHIP
If a driver meets all requirements for the Silver Scholarship for one full year, they will be eligible to apply for the Gold Scholarship. The Gold Scholarship will pay 100% of tuition up to 12 credit hours per semester, plus 100% of book rental costs. The Gold Scholarship will be awarded to the top 10% of eligible candidates in our program.

The following Associate and Bachelor degrees are available completely on-line. A student would never have to go to the campus:

Yes, MSSU accepts transfer credit from all accredited universities and colleges.

Yes, in some cases, work experience can equal college credit. You can find more information about this on MSSU's web site at www.mssu.edu/lifelonglearning/portfolio/index.shtml.

MSSU tuition rates are continuously one of the lowest in the region. Drivers receiving Silver Scholarships will be responsible for 50% of tuition plus books. The current (2007-2008) rate is $170 per credit hour for on-line classes or $135 for on-site classes, assuming your family member lives nearby. There may be other fees, such as book rental (which is $6 per credit hour.) If you wish, SML will work with you to set up a savings plan that will pull a portion of your check into an account to ensure that you will have the needed funds. You can also apply for a payment program through MSSU at this link.
