Holst Sr. and Yong Shin Choe of Jackson, Mo.; Kelli Niswonger, daughter of Ron and Ruth Niswonger of Jackson; Kyla Janae Smith, daughter of Barb and Sam Herndon and Rodney and Judy Smith of Jackson; Benjamin R. Statler, son of Steven and Janet Statler of Jackson; and Jeremiah Townsend, son of Jon and Tonyua Townsend of Chaffee, Mo.

Scholarships are awarded based on the candidates' academic achievements, leadership skills, accomplishments outside the classroom and school recommendations.
