Jonesburg native earns scholarships

Posted

Miss Missouri candidates from across the state competed in mid-June for scholarships and the title of a lifetime.

The group included Miss Heart of Southern Missouri Emily Laskowski. The Jonesburg native is currently studying for a master’s in school counseling at Truman State University. Emily is the daughter of Heather and Richard Corder. Laskowski received a $500 non-finalist scholarship.

Ashley Berry of Clinton is the new Miss Missouri. She is the daughter of Mark and Amy Berry and attends college at the University of Alabama. Berry is a former Miss Missouri’s Teen, capturing that crown in 2021. Since earning her crown, she has begun preparations to appear on the Miss America stage later this year.

The Miss Missouri Scholarship Organization is one of the largest providers of scholarships to young women in the state. This year, the organization will award more than $85,000 in scholarships between the Miss Missouri and Outstanding Teen programs.
