Four bright Derby High School seniors have been selected for Wichita State University’s Dean’s Scholar’s program after “the most competitive process in program history,” according to WSU.

Jade Baker, Michaela Liebst, Shelby Verble and Zachary Zuber were selected for the elite scholarship program, which provides full tuition, books and room and board for the 2012-2013 academic year.

“These students are some of the area’s most impressive high school students, and I look forward to all they will bring as Shockers,” said Trish Inslee, assistant to the dean, enrollment management.

Verble and Zuber are interested in medical careers, Liebst is interested in secondary education and English, and Baker plans to major in business administration and Spanish.

The Dean’s Scholar’s Program was created in 2007, with the aim of attracting some of Wichita’s best and brightest to Wichita State through a variety of social and academic programs.

Additional scholarship opportunities will be available to the students in subsequent semesters.
