Two California High School alumni received scholarships from Missouri State University in Springfield for their first semesters in the fall.
Gracie A. George received the dean's scholarship for $2,000 per year, and Chatman L. Pardoe earned the Missouri State Promise Scholarship for $1,500 per year.
George and Pardoe were selected from those who applied based on their ACT scores, grade-point average, standing in graduating class, and leadership shown in community and school activities.
