HAYS, Kan. - More than 275 student scholarships exceeding $345,000 were awarded to Fort Hays State University business and entrepreneurship students for the 2024-2025 academic year.

The awards, announced at the W.R. and Yvonne Robbins College of Business and Entrepreneurship awards ceremony on Sept. 19 in the FHSU Memorial Union Ballroom, were presented to on-campus and online students.

Robbins Ambassadors Jessica Saunders and Lauren Wagner, each receiving a $5,000 Robbins Ambassador Scholarship, spoke about their support as undergraduate students at FHSU and the impact that support has had on their educational experience.

“We are lucky to have so many leaders and mentors to guide us through these important years of our lives,” Wagner, a senior management major from Hays, said. “Each of you has made great efforts to mold us into the students and future professionals we will become.”

Saunders, a senior from Hillsboro majoring in accounting and finance, said she chose Fort Hays State because of its “welcoming community and excellent educational opportunities.”

“My time at FHSU has been incredibly rewarding, both in the classroom and in the meaningful relationships I have known while being here,” she said. “I am proud to be a representative of the Robbins College of Business and eager to give back to this institution that has profoundly impacted me.”
