Missouri Military Academy (MMA) welcomed colleges and universities to campus on Wednesday, Sept. 17, for the Academy’s annual College Fair, held from 1–3 p.m. in Centennial Gymtorium. MMA high school cadets explored their post-high school options through one-on-one conversations with admissions representatives, side-by-side comparisons of schools and discovering practical guidance on identifying the “right” college fit.
More than 60 colleges, universities, service academies and other post-graduate options attended (see list below). Cadets learned about academic programs, campus life, ROTC options, athletics, financial aid and scholarship opportunities and application timelines.
The College Fair is a cornerstone of MMA’s comprehensive college and career planning program, which supports cadets beginning well before senior year with individualized counseling, application strategy, essay and résumé development, interview preparation and transition planning. Each year, MMA cadets achieve 100% graduation and 100% college acceptance; the Class of 2025 earned more than $15 million in scholarship offers—outcomes that reflect both cadet effort and the Academy’s focused, personalized approach.
MMA freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors participated, building skills appropriate to their stage—ninth- and 10th-graders gathered baseline knowledge and built exploration lists, while juniors and seniors refined priorities, confirmed admission requirements and made direct contacts to support applications and campus visits.
Families with questions about college planning, scholarships or next steps are encouraged to contact Cameo Wells, MMA director for college and career placement, at Cameo.Wells@missourimilitaryacademy.com or 573-581-1766 ext. 228.
