The Kansas State Scholarship is designed to assist financially needy students in the top 20-40% of Kansas high school graduates who are designated as state scholars during the senior year of high school. Completion of the Kansas Scholars Curriculum is one component of the scholarship requirements.
The GEHS Class of 2022 has 33 students who have met these high standards and are now recognized as Kansas State Scholars. Along with the required curriculum, the students are listed below and will be recognized during the Seniors Honor Night and during the GEHS graduation ceremony.
