Contributing to the success of underserved students, Michael S. Harding, a 1973 University of Central Missouri graduate who grew up in St. Louis, has established the Harding Family UCM Advantage Scholars Endowment with a $250,0000 gift to fund a comprehensive college access and completion program for UCM’s incoming freshmen.
The earnings from the endowment will be used for travel fees, lodging and meals for students and faculty advisors who participate in this outreach opportunity.
