CIS MidAm will grant a $1,000 scholarship and offer support through the college years. Up to five eligible students will meet minimum GPA requirements, hold a campus job and contribute positively to the campus community. If you are a CIS student who would like more information about this opportunity, contact your site coordinator or or contact Hesston’s CIS admissions counselor, Michael Smalley, at michaels@hesston.edu or 620-327-8211.
