Royal Neighbors of America Awards Scholarships to
Two Local Dexter Students
Peyton Boles and Ryder Boles Named as Recipients of National Scholarship Program
Royal Neighbors of America, a nonprofit life insurance organization located in Rock Island, Ill., has awarded 32 scholarships as part of its unique promise to provide Insurance with a Difference℠. Since 1961, scholarships have been awarded annually to help alleviate the financial burden of higher education for members and their families. Peyton and Ryder Boles of Dexter, MO were both awarded this acclaimed scholarship to complete their bachelor’s degrees at Murray State University.
“The program is an investment in tomorrow's community leaders,” said Senior Director of Social Impact Amy Jones. “By supporting our members in their educational pursuits, we are empowering them to be at the forefront of critical issues and shaping a better future for all. These scholarships are not just financial aid; they are a commitment to nurturing the leaders who will drive positive change in their communities.”
This scholarship program emphasizes the importance of strong, community-based leadership delivered through volunteerism. Students are required to respond to essay questions about their personal experiences and discuss a social issue currently affecting communities.
“My goal is to have zero debt by the time I graduate. I took many hours of dual credit in high school to cut down on expenses, and I will be working over the summer to cover additional costs. This scholarship has removed some of the financial burden from my shoulders, and I am very grateful to Royal Neighbors of America,” says Peyton Boles
More than $5 million has been awarded to date. Scholarship recipients can use their scholarship funds for tuition, room and board, and books. To learn more about the program, visit royalneighbors.org/scholarships.

Missouri State Treasurer Vivek Malek made several stops in Southeast Missouri, engaging with first responders, local businesses, and citizens as part of his ongoing efforts to campaign, as well as promote state programs and services. His stops included Cape Girardeau, Scott, Stoddard, and Butler Counties.
Treasurer Malek began his visit by honoring first responders, acknowledging their critical role in the community. He visited fire stations and emergency medical services (EMS) facilities, where he expressed gratitude for their dedication and service.
"Our first responders are the backbone of our community's safety and well-being. It is essential to recognize and support their tireless efforts, especially during EMS Week," Malek stated. Continuing his tour, Malek met with local business owners to discuss and promote various Treasurer programs designed to support economic growth and financial literacy.
"By supporting our local businesses, we are not only fostering economic development but also ensuring that our communities thrive," said Malek. In addition to his stops at first responders and businesses, Treasurer Malek also held sessions with citizens to bring awareness of unclaimed property. He emphasized the importance of residents checking for unclaimed assets, which can include forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, and other financial assets.
"Our goal is to reunite Missourians with their lost or forgotten property. It is your money, and we want to ensure it returns to you," Malek explained. During these sessions, Treasurer Malek provided resources and assistance to help citizens search the state’s unclaimed property database.
The Treasurer's office has successfully returned millions of dollars to Missouri residents, and Malek encouraged everyone to take advantage of this service. Treasurer Malek's visit underscores his commitment to serving the people of Missouri by enhancing public safety, supporting economic initiatives, and ensuring financial assets are returned to their rightful owners. His engagement with the community highlights the importance of these programs and services in improving the quality of life for all Missourians.
