(Leavenworth, KS) - University of Saint Mary student Kali Christie is one of 19 students to receive a 2024 Maud Wyatt Recognition Scholarship from the Kansas Independent College Foundation.
The recipients are all full-time, degree-seeking students on the cusp of graduation who have demonstrated excellence in academics, character, and integrity. The winners have encouraged their peers to build bright, dynamic futures, all while maintaining GPAs of 3.5 or higher.
"I am honored to be awarded the Maud Wyatt Scholarship and very appreciative of recognition of my hard work and academic success at USM," said Christie, who is a nursing major from Dade City, Florida. "This scholarship will help me to achieve my dreams and aspirations at the University of Saint Mary."
The scholarship was established in 1995 through the generosity of Maud Wyatt, whose bequest has supported the work of KICF and its institutions since 1961. The Kansas Independent College Foundation seeks to develop, promote, and direct unified approaches to selected corporations, foundations, and individuals for financial support of Kansas' independent colleges and universities.
"The students at Kansas' independent colleges are going to change the world for the better," KICF President Matthew Lindsey said. "It's a privilege to support them in their endeavors, and we're grateful to Maud Wyatt for making it possible for us to do so."
