Idea from Salina Central alum leads to scholarship

Three groups of alumni from Salina High School Central have joined forces to create the Salina Central Millennium Scholarship Fund.

The classes of 1998, 1999, and 2000 created this scholarship to honor the memories of their classmates who have died.

The idea to create a scholarship came from Adam Burnham Hulstine as part of the preparations for the 20th reunion of the class of 1999. When Hulstine died just before the reunion, his classmates organized to bring his idea to life.
