SCOTT CITY STUDENT ACCEPTS CURATOR SCHOLARSHIP TO UM-C

SCOTT CITY -- Amy Beth Bertrand, a senior at Scott City High School, has been named to the centennial class of the University of Missouri System Curators Scholars Program.

She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Bertrand, and plans to study political science/philosophy at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Each year the Board of Curators, governing body of the four-campus University of Missouri Systems, offers scholarships to Missouri high school seniors who rank in the top three percent or are one of the top three students of their graduating class as of the sixth semester.

Students who are nominated by their principals or counselors also must score at or above the 90th percentile on a standardized college entrance test.

Curators Scholars awards cover educational fees for the first academic year. The scholarship may be renewed in succeeding years, provided the student meets renewal criteria.
