MLK Celebration
The University of Central Missouri's Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration occurs each year in January. The UCM, Whiteman, Sedalia, Kansas City and Warrensburg communities pause to reflect on the work and impact of Dr. King, while renewing goals of respect and dignity toward one another. Programs include Community Service Awards, Warrensburg community Ecumenical Service, Freedom Scholarship Dinner (tickets must be purchased in advance through the Community Engagement Office), Gospel Concert, and Community Blood Drive.
Freedom Scholarship Recipients
Each year, scholarships are awarded to students who fit the criteria and are recognized at the MLK Freedom Scholarship Dinner.
The scholarship is $2,000 for incoming freshmen and $1,000 for returning students.
