University of Missouri System

An 1872 state law requires the University of Missouri System to provide education to Missouri students without payment of tuition. In 1998, three students, Douglas Sharp, Sandra Lynn and Frederick Eccher sued the university, claiming educational fees the university charged in-state students were illegal. A St. Louis County Circuit Court Judge ruled in favor of the students and the university has to set up a $10 million scholarship fund under the tentative settlement agreement.
