Nine Reeds Spring High School seniors have secured a life-changing opportunity—free college tuition, housing, and fees through the prestigious Hagan Scholarship program. These need-based merit scholarships are awarded nationwide to help high-achieving students graduate debt-free.
Congratulations to Brenneka Edelen, Haven Hodges, Jace Keitges, Joel Keithley, Thomas McGuane, Jacob Munday, Gracee Parrish, Shane Pearson, and Mackenzie Wood.
“The Hagan Scholarship has made it possible for me to attend my top choice school, Missouri University of Science and Technology, to study Physics,” said Shane Pearson. “I have been fascinated with physics and its subfields since I was a kid. Because of this scholarship, I will be able to study and research the fields that I, until now, have only read about.”
Each recipient will receive up to $15,000 per year for four years, totaling $60,000 in financial support. This scholarship also provides workshops, study-abroad opportunities, and financial literacy training to set students up for long-term success.
“This has completely changed my life in the best way, and I couldn’t be more thankful,” said Jace Keitges.
“I'm excited to see where Hagan takes me throughout my college journey!” said Joel Keithley.
