Marsh receives scholarship
Hannah Marsh of Hillsboro has been named a Sen. Robert J. Dole Public Service Scholar for the 2007-08 academic year.
Funded by NASA, the scholarships are distributed among the state's four congressional districts to ensure the broadest statewide participation.
The new scholars will enroll this fall at one of the six Kansas Board of Regents universities or Washburn University in Topeka. Regents universities are KU, Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University and Wichita State University.
Aligned with the primary mission of the Dole Institute, the scholarship program encourages young Kansans to get involved in politics, government and community service.
Recipients receive a $1,000 scholarship, renewable for three years, and commit to completing 100 hours of civic activities annually. Kansas high school seniors who have volunteered in community and public service in their communities and who have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale are eligible.
Marsh is a 2007 graduate of Hillsboro High School. She will be attending Wichita State University, pursing a degree in exercise science.
