Congratulations to Liam Patterson, John Collins, Christopher Tschauder, Regan Dugger, Delanie Wilder, Frances Knudsen, and Amara Kermer for being this year's recipients of the Kasten-Regan Scholarship!
Since May 2020, the Kasten-Regan Memorial Scholarship has awarded $31,000 to 23 deserving recipients, all of whom are or will be pursuing their higher education desires. Tim and Sue hope that each recipient of this scholarship will find it in their hearts to "pay it forward” to another deserving individual from Atchison in the future.
