More than 100 college scholarships and thousands of dollars are available through Scholar-Link, administered by the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri. The foundation is encouraging high school seniors to begin the process of applying for the scholarships. In 2020, $182,650.00 was awarded to graduating seniors from across northwest Missouri through the management of the Community Foundation.
The foundation says the process is simple and there is no charge to the student, their family or to their respective high school. Students can apply for multiple scholarships within the one application. Current high school seniors should visit the website, www.cfnwmo.org and click on “Scholar-Link/Applying for Scholarships” link. They will be able to browse the many scholarships available, read the instructions or go to the Qualifying Questions.
This is the fourth year for Scholar-Link to be available to graduating seniors of the 18-county region plus a few exceptions that are allowed by specific scholarship applications. Applications must be submitted on-line only and the deadline for submitting applications is March 1, 2021. If you have questions, call 816-232-2022.
