Five Rooks County students win Hansen Scholarships

The Dane G. Hansen Foundation of Logan, Kansas has named 222 high school seniors from 59 Northwest Kansas schools as winners in its 47th annual scholarship competition, five of which include students from Rooks County.

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.

The Foundation offered seventy scholarships for Hansen Student winners. These awards are for $4,000 and may be renewed for one additional year provided the student has maintained a satisfactory academic record. This year’s winners included Kyron Kraushaar of Plainville.

For students interested in a Career and Technical Education scholarship, the Foundation offered the following scholarships to four Rooks County students. These awards are for $4,000 and may be renewed for one additional year provided the student has maintained a satisfactory academic record.

Winners of Career and Technical Education scholarships from Rooks County include: Aricka Bryant and Savannah Gray, both of Stockton High School; Conner Stahl of Plainville High School; and Kirsten Marcotte of Palco High School.

Congratulations to all the winners.
