Northwest Kansas Students Win Hansen Scholarships

The Dane G. Hansen Foundation of Logan has named 229 high school seniors from 47 Northwest Kansas schools as winners in its 51^st annual scholarship competition.

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.
