HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Students from Hutchinson Community College are benefitting from a scholarship program offered by EAGLE Media and the Robert E. and Patricia Schmidt Foundation.
Nancy Swain, General Manager at EAGLE Media in Hutchinson, had lunch this week with Hutchinson Community College students who were awarded scholarships from the Schmidt Foundation. Bob Schmidt was the original founder of Eagle Communications, which now includes more than 30 radio stations, including Country 102.9, My 93-1 and KWBW, as well as nine community Post sites, including Hutch Post. Before his death, Bob sold the company to its employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, making Eagle 100% employee owned.
Bob and Pat Schmidt were always determined to contribute to the success and well-being of the communities they served. They believed if you give back to your community, it begins a chain reaction of good and creates a place where we can all grow and thrive. Hutchinson Community College's endowment association was very thankful to receive funds from the Schmidt Foundation that provides scholarships to students at Hutchinson Community College.
