MARE High School Scholarship Recipients
The Missouri Association of Rural Education is proud to announce the recipients of the 2017 MARE HS Scholarships. When the new program was originally approved by the MARE Executive Board, the plan was to offer ten (10) $500.00 scholarships to graduating seniors who have expressed an interest in pursuing education degrees and teaching in rural schools. Due to the very generous support of Duane Martin with EdCounsel, LLC and a few other donors we are able to provide twenty-four (24) $500.00 scholarships. Applicants had to complete a scholarship packet which included an essay detailing why the individual was interested in teaching in a rural school. We received fifty-five (55) applications from across the state. The winners as selected by the HS Scholarship Committee are as follows:
Serena Duncan - Rich Hill R-IV Beau Turgeon - Canton R-V
Hannah Heberlie - Farmington R-VII Katilyn Foreman - Community R-VI
