The Cash Hollistah Scholarship, presented by Ad Astra Books & Coffee House, is awarded to a graduating senior in central Kansas who shows merit in the field of community enrichment through poetry, music, art or design.

Special thanks this year go to a community donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, for matching the scholarship, which is why they were able to give two scholarships this year.
