Emporia State University has five first-time students that received a scholarship from the Rudd Foundation of Wichita.
The Rudd Scholars are:
*Ashley Cookson of Howard
*Cali Doudna of Lebo
*Blake Murphy of Osage City
*Noah Salazar of Sterling
*Kylee Sull of Americus
The Rudd Scholarship is a four-year award that pays students remaining tuition, room and board, books, and supplies after all other grants, scholarships, and financial awards are accounted for.
Peter Najera, the former president of the Rudd Foundation says, “By 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.”
Applications for the 2021 Rudd Scholarship open on October 12. For more information visit ruddfoundation.org.
