Crowder College Announces Dual Credit Scholarship Awardees

(Neosho, MO) – Crowder College is proud to announce the recipients of the prestigious Bridge to College Scholarship for the Fall semester. This scholarship is awarded to high-achieving students who have demonstrated both academic excellence and a commitment to their future career goals. Three students were selected this fall, with two additional scholarships to be awarded in the upcoming spring semester.

• Carson Womack, a student from Carthage High School, has been awarded the scholarship to support his dream of becoming a physical therapist. Carson has had a passion for physical activity since childhood, participating in various sports such as basketball and soccer. His interest in physical therapy was sparked by witnessing the rehabilitation of an injured teammate, inspiring him to help others recover and return to the activities they love. Carson has also been involved in leadership roles in his school, including serving on the student council, where he has honed skills in teamwork, resilience, and empathy—qualities essential for his future career.
• Dawthlei Par, a student from McDonald County High School, also received the scholarship. Dawthlei has consistently excelled academically, maintaining a GPA above 4.0 while being actively involved in her community. Inspired by a visit to her home country of Myanmar (Burma), she gained a new perspective on the value of education and strives to make the most of every opportunity. Dawthlei plans to pursue a career in business and finance, with a focus on accounting.
• Logan Cope, a homeschool student, is the third recipient of the Bridge to College Scholarship. Logan developed resilience at an early age, learning from his father’s guidance during a difficult hike to the summit of Lone Peak Mountain in Utah. This experience has shaped his approach to life, helping him face personal challenges with determination and strength. Logan is passionate about engineering and is excited to begin his studies at Crowder College’s pre-engineering program, with hopes of transferring to Missouri University of Science and Technology (S&T) in the future. Logan remains committed to his academic journey and is eager to explore the world of engineering.

The Bridge to College Scholarship covers three credit hours of tuition at the dual credit Tier-One rate, helping students get a head start on their college education while still in high school. Crowder College is committed to supporting students like Carson, Dawthlei, and Logan as they work toward their academic and career aspirations.
