The Dane G. Hansen Foundation, of Logan, has named 228 high school seniors from 43 Northwest Kansas schools as winners in its 50th annual scholarship competition.
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.
Seven 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 progress update describing progress towards educational goals. This year’s winners are:
Kenneth Fisher, Hays H.S. Isabelle Jones, Hays H.S.
Aidan Johnson, Ellsworth H.S. Clay Guttery, Osborne H.S.
Hailey Gier, Russell H.S. Landon Albrecht, SE of Saline H.S.
