Two high school students are winners of the 2011 Fran Jabara Scholarship in Entrepreneurship at Wichita State University.
Ally Foye, a senior at Baldwin High School in Baldwin City, Kan., and David McAdam, a homeschooled senior from Bel Aire, Kan., are the recipients.
The scholarship, one of the most prestigious at WSU and one of the largest entrepreneurship scholarships nationally, awards each recipient $20,000 over four years.
To compete, a student must have a minimum ACT score of 24, a GPA of 3.5 or better and be a declared entrepreneurship major.

In high school, Foye has earned academic letters for the past three years, as well as All American Cheerleader, cheer captain and winter royalty/homecoming.
She also was in the Kansas Music Educators Association Honor Band.
Foye works 10-15 hours a week at the Santa Fe Market and spends other spare time doing community service.

McAdam was a Barton Scholarship finalist at WSU.
He has won an AWANA Citation Award, is captain of his school basketball team and is heavily involved in community service.
