The program's goal is to provide a four-year scholarship worth up to $15,000 to a student in every Missouri county and in the city of St. Louis. McAndrew's gift will improve access to college for students in Clark County. Dena Eddleman of Kahoka, a senior hotel and restaurant management major at MU, was named the first recipient at a press conference Thursday at Kahoka High School. The program gives priority to applicants who demonstrate outstanding service and leadership and are the first in their family to attend college. Recipients give back at least 20 hours per year in their home communities promoting education and college attendance. http://qui.live.mediaspanonline.com/new_story/donor-gives-scholarship-SUN
