Wichita State to announce new Fran Jabara Scholarship recipients

Two high school seniors will receive the Professor Fran Jabara Scholarship at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 8, in 215 Devlin Hall at Wichita State University. The two winners will each receive $25,000 over four years to attend WSU. The media are welcome to attend.

The scholarship is named for the late Fran Jabara, who served on the Wichita State faculty for 40 years. He was dean of the College of Business Administration for seven years and founded the Center for Entrepreneurship at WSU, the first of its kind.

Jabara's son, Harvey, and Fran's wife, Geri, will represent him at the reception, along with Barton School of Business Dean Anand Desai and several faculty and staff.
