Sunflower Foundation Scholarships

The Sunflower Foundation has a program in place that provides a $3,000 scholarship to one graduating senior of the three high schools in Johnson and Wyandotte Counties that offer JROTC. Those schools are: Shawnee Mission North High School and Shawnee Mission West High School in Johnson County, and Washington High School in Wyandotte County.
We have established two tiers for our scholarship program, as follows:
Tier 1 - the JROTC students from the area high schools

Tier 2 - college freshmen who need a little extra financial assistance to get to the next year of college and ROTC training
