2009-10 Kirksville Preferred Merchants Scholarship recipients Deana Berrey, Lindsay Sobotka, Brianne Wehner, Richard Limbert, and Steven Lyons, with Vice President for Student and Alumni Services Ron Gaber, Ed.S., and ATSU President Jack Magruder.

The Kirksville Preferred Merchants Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in 1989 by Kirksville and Northeast Missouri area merchants and professionals. The fund assists students from the Northeast Missouri area with tuition payments at ATSU-KCOM, which lessens their need for educational loans.

Since 1989, ATSU-KCOM has awarded more than $53,000 in Kirksville Preferred Merchants scholarships.
