Belcher Scholarships
John Belcher Scholarship
This scholarship is from the Missouri School Boards’ Association (MBSA). It’s a $1,000 annual scholarship. To win this scholarship, applicants need to select one of the following topics and write an essay of between 500 and 700 words and give it a title:
- The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
- Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
- Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
