Gennifer Riley, doctoral candidate in mechanical engineering, has been announced as a recipient of the Marie R. Bonebrake Graduate Award, a legacy scholarship established by Case Bonebrake in honor of his wife and K-State alumnus, Marie.
One-half of the $4,200 award will be disbursed for fall 2020 and the remaining half in the 2021 spring semester.
