Two University of Kansas School of Business seniors received the Thomas M. Hoenig Scholarship Oct. 25 at the Anderson Chandler Lecture presented by President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Thomas M. Hoenig.

Finance majors Aaron Andra, Wichita, and Thomas Freeman, Overland Park, were selected based on multiple faculty recommendations for both students’ achievements as outstanding business majors.

Andra and Freeman are both members of the Finance Scholars Program and recently completed summer finance internships in New York City. Both finance students received a $2,000 award for their achievements.

“Aaron and Thomas are outstanding students and well deserving of these scholarships.  They were selected by members of the finance faculty,” said Keith Chauvin, associate dean of academic affairs.  “Like a number of other KU finance scholars, when these two students graduate they each have full-time jobs awaiting them at financial institutions on Wall Street.”

The Chandler Lecture Series began in 1997 and is made possible by Anderson Chandler, the CEO, president and director of Fidelity State Bank and Trust Co. of Topeka. Chandler is a School of Business alumnus and was one of the first alumni honored, in 1998, with the Distinguished Alumni Award.
