The Paul Flaherty Athletic Scholarship is made possible through memorials in memory of Paul and contributions of the Flaherty family. Paul's love for athletics, his love for young people, and his desire to help them get a good chance in life prompted him to donate funds to create this scholarship. This scholarship is open to any boy or girl who has participated in high school athletics. The applicant must be an average or better student scholastically. Only high school seniors and college level freshmen or sophomores who are enrolled or intend to enroll in an approved college or institution will be considered. Three letters of recommendation are required, one must be from a former coach. Applications must be received in the American Legion Department of Kansas headquarters. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
