For the third consecutive year, Branson High School has partnered with VU Scholarships, a Kansas City-based organization, to expand scholarship access for students and offer more opportunities to graduating seniors.
Students were honored during the annual Senior Awards Night held at Branson High School on May 11. $564,332,497 in local and merit-based scholarship awards were offered to BHS seniors.
“We are grateful for the continued partnership with VU Scholarships and for the many local organizations and individual scholarship benefactors investing in our students,” said Branson High School senior counselor, Dixie Bailey. “These scholarship offers help open doors for students as they take their next steps after graduation.”
