FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The Shelter
Insurance® Foundation and Bekah Harlan Local High School Scholarship
COLUMBIA, MO – 01/29/2025 – Recognizing academic achievement in our communities is one of the main
goals of the Shelter Insurance® Foundation. This spring, the Foundation will award one $1,500 scholarship to a graduate of Northeast High School in Arma and two $1,500 scholarships to two graduates of Fronteneac High School. Shelter Agent Bekah Harlan sponsors and partially funds this scholarship.
Students may apply the scholarship funds toward tuition, fees or campus housing for any course of study beginning the fall after the recipient’s high school graduation and leading to an academic degree at any college, university or trade school, whether public or private, that is accredited by the U.S. Department of Education. The Foundation makes the payment directly to the school the recipient selects.
To determine who receives a scholarship, a committee of local high school officials and community leaders will consider each applicant’s scholastic achievements, educational goals, citizenship, moral character and participation and leadership in school and community activities. The scholarship is given without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other classification protected by federal, state or local law. The name of the recipient will be announced at the close of the school year.

and additional information about the Shelter Foundation Scholarship will be
available in January and should be completed and returned to the school
official serving on the selection committee by March 31st. For more
information, interested seniors should contact their high school counselor,
principal or Shelter Insurance Agent Bekah Harlan.
