Rylie Boyer from Maysville, MO, has been selected as North Central Missouri College’s Outstanding Student for May. Rylie is a Missouri A+ scholarship student and just graduated with her associate in science degree. Rylie plans to transfer her degree to Northwest Missouri State University to complete a bachelor’s degree in cellular and molecular biology.

At NCMC, Rylie was on the Pirates softball team, a PTK (Phi Theta Kappa) Honor Society member, and an RA (Residence Assistant) in Selby Hall. Her favorite class was Biology with Dr. Susan Stull. Riley said, “I love biology, and Dr. Stull worked well with me and my sports schedule. All of the instructors at NCMC are supportive of the athletes and our schedules.”

Rylie went on to say, “I chose NCMC for the A+ scholarship program. Thanks to it, I haven’t had to pay out of pocket for my tuition. Also, I like the small hometown feel of campus and everyone here. My favorite thing about NCMC was getting to know everyone and bingo nights! NCMC made transitioning into college life easier than going to a four-year. Two years of free college has helped a lot, and I also got to play softball.”
