The Dane G. Hansen Foundation of Logan, Kansas has named high school seniors from 59 Northwest Kansas schools as winners in its 43rd annual scholarship competition. In addition, scholarships have been awarded to Kansas Community or Technical College Transfer students who are planning to continue their education at a Kansas four-year college or university.

In selecting award winners, the Scholarship Committee considered proficiency in verbal and writing skills. Other important factors are academic records, test scores, and community service in which the student may have participated.

Ten students have won Hansen Leader of Tomorrow scholarships. These awards are for $10,000 and may be renewable for three additional years. Renewal of scholarships is based upon continued regard for the principles, which guided the success of the late Dane G. Hansen, a 3.00 or better GPA at the college level and a letter describing progress towards educational goals. This year’s winners are:

Brendan Chapman, Hays H.S.                  Lacey Gregory, Hays H.S.
Mark Schuckman, Hays H.S.                    Bergen Mauerhan, Rock Hills H.S.
