Arvest is proud to announce a grant on behalf of the Arvest Foundation to the George Washington Carver Birthplace Association to support the final restoration efforts of the “1872 Neosho Colored School.” Located in Neosho, Missouri, the school was listed in the National Register in 2017 for its association with agricultural scientist George Washington Carver, the important role the school played in African American education in Neosho, and its significance in African American ethnic heritage.
