Grad wins food scholarship

Marion High School graduate McKinnon Warner, now a freshman in hospitality management at the University of Kansas, is one of five 2023 graduates to win a renewable $1,000 scholarship from Opaa, Marion’s school lunch provider.

Students graduating from districts Opaa serves and planning careers in food service, nutrition, culinary arts, or hospitality are eligible for the awards, which can be renewed for four years.

Since 1997, Opaa has awarded more than $500,000 to 125 students.
