The Missouri State University Foundation annually gifts thousands of students with scholarships. 

This year, 30 biology students received scholarships in recognition of their academic achievements. 

“We’re proud to have many biology majors receive these prestigious awards,” said Dr. Kyoungtae Kim, Roy Blunt Life Science endowed professor. “When we consider that people who take pleasure in doing the right thing rather than showcasing their accomplishments are the ones who ultimately move society forward, we can imagine the authenticity and passion for these recipients’ work.”
