Two out-of-state students receive Wabash CannonBall Houston Scholarships
The K-State Alumni Association has awarded two scholarships to incoming Kansas State University out-of-state freshmen through funds from the Wabash CannonBall galas, alumni golf tournaments and crawfish boils.
“These K-State students have benefited so much from the generosity and support of their fellow Wildcats in the Houston area,” said Michelle Elkins, associate director of awards and special events for the Alumni Association. “It is truly amazing to see how much these events have done for the K-State community as a whole. We would like to thank everyone who has helped champion these events over the past few years to make it a success.”
The two Houston-area students will receive a scholarship in the amount of $5,000 for the upcoming academic year. To be eligible for the scholarship, students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 and reside in the Houston area (Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery and Waller counties).
The recipients are Taylor Aarsen, Sugar Land, Texas; and Ira Williams, Houston, Texas.
