Foundation of the Scholarship: Mrs. Cynthia Rodriguez-Mendoza was a dedicated educator for USD #214 and Kansas Children’s Service League Head Start for a combined 25+ years. One of her strongest beliefs was for people to pursue a secondary education in whichever form it may be, as she was firm in also believing that everyone deserves a chance to better themselves. Cynthia was a loved member of her community as a proud parent, supporting teacher, devout church member, volunteer, and so much more. In 2020 amid the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, she fell sick with the unfortunate disease that lead to her passing. So, it is, this scholarship foundation has been established by her family to provide students of all backgrounds the opportunity to provide some financial assistance in pursuing an education after high school.
