Cooper Howard: University of Missouri St. Louis — SUCCEED Program (Katharine Blanch Scholarship Award)

Cooper Howard is a two-time Rockin’ Recipient this year’s recipient of a Ruby’s Rainbow Katharine Blanch Scholarship Award and is entering his sophomore year in the SUCCEED Program at the University of Missouri St. Louis studying archeology.

Cooper successfully completed his first year of college while living more than 2,000 miles from home, and he is proud of how much he has grown. He is enthusiastic about everything he does and loves connecting with people from all walks of life.

Outside of the classroom, Cooper enjoys playing soccer, skiing, and participating in drama. His long-term goals include living independently, having a family, and building a career that allows him to work with people and pursue his interest in archaeology.

We are so proud of you, Cooper!
