In response to the shortened end to the school year, Kansas State Treasurer Jake LaTurner is launching the  "Surprise a Senior" scholarship contest, which will award scholarships of $2,500 each to 20 high school seniors.

Five scholarships will be given out in the four Kansas congressional districts. The $2,500 will be deposited into a new or existing LearningQuest® 529 Education Savings account for the student to use for qualified educational expenses.

Entries will be accepted through April 30. All completed entries are being considered and the winners will be notified by May 6.
