Lauren Replogle, a 2024 graduate of Marshfield High School, has received the Kathryn Garst Gray and Henry E. Gray Scholarship, administered by the Community Foundation of the Ozarks.
Replogle, the daughter of Chuck and Tiffany Replogle, will attend the University of Missouri this fall, where she plans to study journalism.
“Our community is lucky to have such generous families that generously allocate funds to local youth pursuing a higher education,” Replogle said. “I’m very grateful to the givers of the scholarship, as well as the board who assisted in selecting me!
The Kathryn Garst Gray and Henry E. Gray Scholarship Fund in loving memory of Lester and Nanalee Garst was established by Kathryn and Henry in 2007 to benefit a graduating senior of Marshfield High attending Mizzou, Missouri State University, Stephens College or Cottey College. It is potentially renewable for three years.
The CFO and its regional affiliate foundations — including the Marshfield Community Foundation — hold about 480 scholarship funds, established by generous donors to help students from across central and southern Missouri achieve their goals of higher education. The application period for the 2025–26 school year will open Jan. 1, 2025, and run through mid-March. For more information, visit cfozarks.org/scholarships.
The Community Foundation of the Ozarks is the region’s largest public charitable foundation serving donors, nonprofit partners and 55 regional affiliate foundations with assets totaling $490 million as of June 30, 2024. The CFO’s mission is to improve the quality of life for everyone in central and southern Missouri through resource development, community grantmaking, collaboration and public leadership.
