Is the MOScholars Marketplace the Same as the School Portal?

Explains the difference between the MOScholars Marketplace (for non-tuition goods and services) and the School Portal (for tuition and student enrollment).

No. Odyssey operates two completely separate systems for MOScholars: the MOScholars Marketplace and the School Portal.

The MOScholars Marketplace

The Marketplace is where vendors offer approved educational products and services directly to MOScholars families. Tuition is not permitted on the Marketplace — that is handled exclusively through the School Portal. However, if your school also offers services such as tutoring, course materials, or specialized educational programs, you may be eligible to list those offerings on the Marketplace in addition to receiving tuition through the School Portal. These are treated as two separate accounts for two separate purposes.

The School Portal

This is where schools manage MOScholars student enrollments and receive tuition payments. Schools receive an invitation from Odyssey via email with instructions on how to claim their School Portal account. Once claimed, schools must complete registration and set up their Stripe banking connection.

⚠️If you started or reviewed the Marketplace vendor application, you may have seen the question: 'Do you have a child in the MOScholars program?' This is a standard anti-fraud screening question — not a request for your student enrollment data.
