This years recipients were: Nora Pryor, Addison Schulte and Ethan Besowshek. Nora is headed to the University of Missouri as a double-major in French and Chemistry and says "l felt that it was necessary to "balance myself out." I am interested in many things, and to major in either a science or a liberal art would leave another part of my being unsatisfied; therefore, I am doing both. I hope to obtain a doctorate degree in chemistry and pursue a career in academia as a research chemist. I am particularly interested in the fields of astrochemistry or forensic chemistry and my goal is to one day pair my love of science with my love for government and politics and work for a government agency, whether that be NASA as an astrochemist or the FBI as a forensic chemist". Addison is headed to the University of Missouri as a Nuclear Medicine major and says "My passion is helping others. I do not like seeing people struggle, and I make it a priority of mine that others feel loved, appreciated, and overall fulfilled. My aspirations for my career are that I will be able to use science and compassion to diagnose infections and diseases in patients by using radioactive drugs. I will be able to assist people on their physical health journey, as well as connect with them personally". Ethan says he plans "to attend Ranken Technical College and will begin there in fall 2022. After completing my Associates degree and ASE certification at Ranken I plan on attending a university that offers degrees in the field of mechanical engineering. My future goal is to have a career in automotive engineering working for a major automobile manufactured'. The Ambassadors Congratulate Their Scholarship Winners for 2020!
Recently, the LSL Ambassadors welcomed the two students and their families selected for our annual scholarships. They were Julia Deters of Liberty High School (and her mother, Kathy) and Madison Sweeney from Timberland High School (and her parents Jon and Grace). Each year for the past several years we have awarded two scholarships worth $1250 to two students residing in the City of Lake St Louis who plan to attend college at a Missouri college or university. Julie is headed to the University of Mo in Columbia to become a teacher and Madison is planning to attend pre-Med school t UMKC. The students were evaluated by our scholarship committee on academic standing, activities, community service and financial need. Our evaluation began around March 13th and finished around April 3rd. Each applicant was evaluated by our committee and the winners were announced at their honors night at their respective school. Three years ago we had 40 applicants for these scholarships; however we saw a significant decline last year when the system the applicants used was changed. This year we had 16 highly qualified applicants from whom these two were selected. Julia worked with others to develop a play and write music for it to entertain and teach 1st and 2nd graders in the Wentzville school district as part of her community activities. It was useful in preparing her for her chosen career path. Madison has volunteered in many community areas such as the hospital and nursing home as a way to seek out information and help others in the community as she broadened her knowledge of her planned career pursuits. These two students demonstrate the high level of dedication to scholarship and community that LSL Ambassadors choose to help with our scholarships.
Mary LaPak, Communications Director for the Wentzville School District introduced Stacy Nelson, the College and Career Counselor who helps get students involved in the scholarship application process. She has worked the last seven years at Timberland. In November each year she begins researching what’s available from Scholarship providers, beginning with those known providers. Then she follows that up with national searches and finds out how students must apply for each scholarship. This information is then put together for students to use in their scholarship search and application process. From Feb 1st to Mar 15th the students fill out applications and turn them in to providers for evaluation. After about one month, awards will be received and then the respective Honors Nights are scheduled at the high schools. CORONA VIRUS CRISIS AMBASSADORS BOARD ACTION The Ambassadors of Lake Saint Louis is a community service organization that truly cares about the City of Lake Saint Louis and its people.

Ambassadors of Lake Saint Louis Trivia Night
On October 15, 2022, the Ambassador’s held a Trivia night to raise funds for our Scholarship Program. The Ambassadors annually provide three scholarships to students residing in Lake Saint Louis. Two of the scholarships are to accredited two- or four-year colleges or universities and one to an accredited Missouri Technical or Trade School. A good time was had by all. The approximately 180 guests had the opportunity to win over $8000 in raffle prizes, trivia contest prizes and from a 50/50 drawing. As you can see, the winning trivia contest table was a happy group. We thank all our guests for their participation and contributions. However, the real winners were the future recipients of the Ambassador’s scholarships as the evenings’ proceeds were enough to fund four scholarships. This would not have been possible without the generous sponsors and prize donations from the many area restaurants, retail establishments and golf courses.
