Six area high school students now have tuition and all college expenses at Emporia State University fully paid after an announcement by ESU on Friday.
Students receiving Jones Premier scholarships are:
*Emporia High School: Gabriela Arevalo of Emporia, nursing.

ESU worked with the Jones Foundation for the Premier scholarship program, which covers full cost of attendance, including tuition, room and board, fees, books and more after all other scholarships and grants are included. Each student gaining the scholarship is also automatically enrolled in Emporia State’s Honors College.
The grant program benefits education and nursing students. Up to six high school seniors get the award, with one nursing and one education student honored from each of the three counties in the Jones Foundation service area — Lyon, Coffey and Osage.
