Dexter, Missouri - Each year the local Kiwanis Club offers scholarships to students who have shown leadership and are in good academic standing. The Kiwanis Club focuses on changing the world by serving children, one child and one community at a time.
This year the Dexter Kiwanis Club awarded two $1,000 scholarships to two graduating seniors at Dexter High School.
Young is the son of Marty and Christine Young and plans to pursue a degree in medicine. He will be attending the University of Tennessee at Martin to study pre-med. Chase will also play baseball for UT Martin before continuing on to medical school. He hopes to one day become an orthopedic surgeon and return to Southeast Missouri.
Loflin is the daughter of Dee Loflin and plans to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine. She will be attending Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau and has been accepted into the Jane Stephens Honors program as well as the Pre-Veterinary Medicine Program. Jessica will continue her education by attending the University of Missouri- Columbia College of Veterinary Medicine and earn her doctorate.
Dexter seniors will graduate on Friday, May 17th at 7:30 p.m. at the Bearcat Event Center.
Congratulations to both Chase Young and Jessica Loflin. We look forward to hearing about your future accomplishments.
