Missouri MOScholars
Missouri MOScholars pays vendors through Odyssey. Here's what a compliant invoice needs, straight from esadesk's rules data.
- Odyssey
- Direct pay only
- No platform fee observed
The program pays you directly.
MOScholars runs through the Odyssey marketplace: the purchase is the payment request, and the provider is paid after fulfillment is confirmed. Missouri hasn't published a payment window — allow a few weeks.

Worth knowing 2
Each line shows its math — minutes, or quantity × unit price good practice provisional
Not required here, but a line that shows its math gets fewer questions: add the minutes — “Math tutoring — 60 min — $80.00” — or a quantity and a unit price: “4 sessions × $80.00 = $320.00”.
MO Treasurer — MOScholars + Odyssey MarketplaceNo funds are rebated or shared with a family member good practice provisional
MOScholars bans rebating or sharing scholarship funds with a family member of the student — confirm you aren't the student's parent or relative and that nothing is being kicked back. This is an eligibility rule, not an invoice field, so it only warns here.
