Lois and Avory Johnson Scholarship for Reno County Students

The Hutchinson Community Foundation administers the Lois and Avory Johnson Scholarship for Reno County Students. This program is designed for graduating seniors from any high school located in Reno County, Kansas. Recipients can use the funding to attend any certified institution of higher learning, which includes trade schools and vocational schools in addition to traditional colleges. While applicants pursuing any career path are eligible, the selection committee gives preference to students entering the field of Emergency Medical Services.

The award provides $2,000 ($1,000 per year for two years) and is renewable for a second year of study. To be considered, candidates must submit their application materials by the deadline of 4 p.m. March 22. Although the provider does not explicitly require the FAFSA, students are generally encouraged to complete the federal form to establish financial need for various aid opportunities. Interested students can download the application guidelines directly from the foundation's website.
