Representative Elijah Haahr greeted the students and congratulated them on their achievements, and each student received a scholarship made possible by a donation from MOHELA, the state's not-for-profit secondary market lender and servicer in the student loan industry.

Photos of the honorees receiving their awards will be posted on the Missouri Community College Association's Facebook page.

The Missouri Community College Association is a statewide organization through which Missouri's community colleges work together to advance common agendas.  MCCA provides advocacy, education, information and networking opportunities in service of the state's 5,700 community college faculty, staff, administrators and trustees.
