Women Legislators of Missouri are encouraging young women set to graduate from high school to apply for a college scholarship. Members hope to spread the word about the scholarship opportunity so that female students from all parts of the state will apply.
“This is a great opportunity for any young woman who is interested in continuing her educational career to receive valuable financial assistance,” said Representative Travis Smith of the 155th District.
The Women Legislators of Missouri Caucus created the senior scholarship program to provide financial assistance to students on the basis of leadership, academics and community service. Candidates must fill out an application and are required to submit a 500-word essay answering the question, “If you were a state legislator, what would you hope to accomplish and why?”

The group will select recipients and then hold a reception in their honor on a date to be determined at the Missouri State Capitol. For further information, contact Representative Maggie Nurrenbern at 573-751-4787 or Rep. Sherri Gallick’s office at 573-751-1344.
