LACROSSE RESIDENT WINS STEVE
HARPER SCHOLARSHIP
Award honors longtime Wichita Eagle
outdoor writer, photographer
August 3, 2006 - PRATT Mitchell Keeley,
a 2006 graduate of LaCrosse High School, was named this year's
recipient of the Steve Harper Scholarship. Keeley plans to pursue
a degree in wildlife biology at Fort Hays State University and
will receive a $1,000 scholarship.
Steve Harper was a longtime outdoor writer and
photographer for the Wichita Eagle. He died of cancer in 2000,
and a scholarship was established in his name. Over $10,000 was
raised from business, organizations and individuals for the program,
which is being managed by the Kansas Wildscape Foundation, Lawrence.
More than 20 students from across Kansas applied
for the scholarship. Only students attending a Kansas college
or university and majoring in natural resource management or
photography are eligible. Applicants are judged by representatives
from Harper's family, the Outdoor Writers of Kansas, and the
Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Judging criteria includes
past experience in their field of study, career plans, and academic
accomplishments.
