Six students received the Regents' Scholarship, which covers full-time fees for at least eight semesters.

It is awarded to high school seniors who earned an Enhanced ACT score of 27 or who are in the top 10 percent of their class.

Area students who earned this award were Jessica A. Winkler of Jackson; William R. Hamm of Chaffee; Nadia M. Sauer of Cape Girardeau; Christopher B. Vetter of Benton; Trevor J. Lovett of Charleston; and Sarah E. Adams of Cape Girardeau.
