The Highland Community College Foundation Board of Directors has announced the selection of the new class of Foundation Scholars. Students selected as Foundation Scholars for the Fall of 2012 are Keshana Cook, Megan Griffiths, and Jake Swalley. As Foundation Scholars, the students will receive tuition, fees, books, and on-campus housing while a student at the College. The Foundation Scholar program began with a bequest from the estate of Hilda Triplett, who was a member of the HCC Board of Trustees.
Selection as a Foundation Scholar is based on an application process that documents the applicant's academic record and involvement in a variety of school and community activities. Final selections are then based on an interview with the selection committee. Up to five Kansas high school graduates are selected as Foundation Scholars each year. HCC Foundation Scholars are asked to continue their record of academic achievement and involvement on campus and in the community. The Foundation Scholars meet monthly to determine community/campus service projects for the month.
