PALMYRA, Mo. (WGEM) – New financial support for Palmyra High School students will soon be available.<\/p>\n
The Herbert, Guida, and Lucille Foster Opportunity Scholarship will provide assistance to Palmyra High School graduates pursuing postsecondary education or training in music, agriculture, or vocational trades.<\/p>\n
The scholarship was made possible through a gift of over $680,000 from the estate of Lucille Foster, a Palmyra High School graduate who spent her life educating and supporting children. <\/p>\n
The scholarship, named after Lucille and her parents, is designed to recognize students who demonstrate good citizenship, consistent attendance, and a clear interest in music, agriculture, or vocational training. <\/p>\n
The awards will be renewable for students who maintain eligibility based on academic performance, attendance, and an annual review with the scholarship committee.<\/p>\n
Palmyra School Foundation member David Lewis said the impact this scholarship can make would be far reaching.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor students that may not have the opportunity to go to college or go to a vocational school, that this money will provide an opportunity that will change not only that student, but probably their kids down the road. So, it will be a generational impact for the students of Palmyra-R1,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny vocational training that a student would want to use the money for, why we would hope they would apply for a scholarship because we want to use this money to benefit the students, because it\u2019ll have a long lasting impact on students lifelong, so we\u2019re very excited about it,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>\n
The Herbert, Guida, and Lucille Foster Opportunity Scholarship will begin awarding funds in the upcoming academic year.<\/p>\n
