Investing in the Future
OF MANHATTAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
If you are a senior at Manhattan (Kansas) High School and plan to pursue a higher education, the MHS Class of 1972 invites you to apply for one of two $1,500 scholarships we award annually. And if you are a member of the Class of ’72 — or a friend of MHS — please consider making a donation to this endowment fund, so that we can expand its impact.
Manhattan High made an extraordinary difference in our lives. We’re giving back, hoping to make a difference in the lives of the students following in our footsteps.
