The Dane G. Hansen Foundation of Logan, Kansas has named 219 high school seniors from 49 Northwest Kansas schools as winners in its 49th 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.
