C.L. Clark was a native Kansan. During his career, Mr. Clark was recognized as a leading banking, business, tax, and corporate attorney. He was heavily involved in community activities, serving on the boards of numerous civic organizations, and he also served as Salina's city attorney in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Mr. Clark passed away in 2004 at the age of 96. He was at one and the same time a very passionate and compassionate man, constantly championing the rights of minorities and the underprivileged. The C.L. Clark Scholarship is given in the hopes that the recipients will use it to further not only their legal educations, but also the standards of excellence maintained by Mr. Clark on a daily basis for over half a century: legal skills, integrity, character, credibility, ethics, and compassion for the less fortunate. Applicants must be graduates of a Saline County High School attending the University of Kansas School of Law or the Washburn University School of Law. They may be first-year, second-year, or third-year students at either school, so long as they are students making normal progress toward graduation. Previous scholarship recipients are eligible to re-apply as part of the total applicant pool as long as they meet the scholarship criteria. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Greater Salina Community Foundation for more information.
