(Leavenworth, Kan.) – Charley Monahan, a marketing and business management major at
University of Saint Mary, received a Future Leaders in Business Scholarship from the
Kansas Independent College Foundation.
“It is a great honor to have been awarded the Future Leaders in Business Scholarship by the KICF,” said Monahan, a Pleasant Ridge High School grad originally from Easton, Kan. “I believe this scholarship will greatly assist me in furthering my education at the University of Saint Mary next fall, and I am so proud to have been the selected recipient. I would like to thank Dr. Hess-Escalante for nominating me for this scholarship and the KICF selection committee for selecting me as the recipient.”
Every year, the KICF awards merit-based scholarships to celebrate diverse and talented students who demonstrate a commitment to excellence, virtue, and integrity. USM nominated Monahan after an internal selection process.
“Everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve their goals, regardless of their background or circumstances,” KICF President Matt Lindsey said. “Kansas will succeed when it supports all students. These scholarships are our contribution to that support.”
