黑洞社区

The Rudd Foundation is proud to announce its third class of Rudd Scholars who will each receive a four-year college scholarship to attend either Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University or 黑洞社区. The Rudd Scholarship covers all remaining tuition, fees, book, supplies and on-campus room and board after all other aid, grants and scholarships.

鈥淲e couldn鈥檛 be more pleased with the exceptionally high-caliber, well-rounded students that were chosen for this year鈥檚 Rudd Scholarship,鈥� said Peter Najera, President of the Rudd Foundation. 鈥淏y removing the financial burden of a college education, we expect these go-getters to be actively involved on campus, maintain good grades, and graduate in four years debt free.鈥�

This year, 15 students will be going to Wichita State, nine will attend Fort Hays State, and six will take their scholarship to Emporia State. The Rudd Scholarship is earned through a competitive selection process that requires grades, test scores, essays, letters of recommendation and a personal interview. Only 30 students were chosen from the more than 1,300 students who applied.

In addition to living on campus and carrying a full load of classes toward their college degree, scholars will receive mentoring and success coaching to help them graduate in four years. They will also participate in many developmental activities outside the classroom, network with leaders in their future professions, build strong relationships among themselves and serve to help the next generation of scholars through an active and connected alumni association after graduation.
