Recipients of the stipends include Lauren Herd of Wichita, daughter of David Herd and Susan and Russ Bower; Sarah Krueger from Lebo, daughter of Joyce and Dwight Krueger; Leah Metzger of Towanda, daughter of Bob Metzger and Jill Olson; Jason Paine from Hutchinson, son of David and Colleen Paine; and Mikaleigh Woodward of St. George, daughter of Jude and Mindy Wilson.
