Cassville High School senior Claire Reuter has been selected as the recipient of the 2026 Missouri Beta Club Scholarship. The one-time, nonrenewable $1,500 scholarship will be applied toward her studies at Missouri State University. Reuter participated in the scholarship application and interview process during the Missouri Senior Beta Convention, held March 13-14. She was initially named an alternate, but was later awarded the scholarship after the original recipient was unable to accept. Missouri Beta Club scholarship recipients are recognized as well-rounded students who excel academically while actively participating in Beta Club activities. Scholarship winners demonstrate a strong commitment to their school and community through service and leadership. Claire is the daughter of Jayme and Ben Reuter, of Cassville. Contributed photo
