This family trust predominantly funds college scholarships for individual students from Kansas, with repeated awards to the same recipients and frequent use of in-state institutions. Grants are small-to-moderate and focused on enabling higher education at regional public and private colleges, reflecting a local, student-centered philanthropic mission tied to Kansas communities.
Numerous relatively small awards concentrated on individual student scholarships, with repeat payments to many of the same students and a clear geographic focus on Kansas and nearby institutions rather than broad institutional grants.
George W Harbaugh and Ella Mae Longworth Harbaugh Family Trust centers its giving on college education scholarships for Kansas students, with repeated awards to the same recipients across multiple years. The recent grants list shows a clear pattern of direct tuition support for individual students rather than institutional program grants, and the trust’s awards are often renewed as students continue in school. Grants in the recent file reach students attending Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Benedictine College, and the University of Kansas, alongside awards that are listed without a school name in the grant line. That mix points to a scholarship fund that supports both public and private postsecondary paths within Kansas. The trust’s annual grantmaking is modest in scale relative to its asset base, but its scholarship activity is consistent and highly local. Several recipients appear more than once, including Addison Emmot, Hannah Schroeder, Avery Johnson, Leah Brummer, Katie Brummer, Owen Eilert, Emily Eilert, and Anna Towner, indicating continued support over time for individual students as they progress through college.
Undergraduate scholarship support is the trust’s core activity. It awarded $3,500 to Anna Townerft Hays St Univ for college education scholarship and $2,300 to Jaimie Druuniv of Ks for the same purpose, showing that aid reaches students at both regional public universities and the University of Kansas. The trust also backs students at Fort Hays State University with repeated awards across years. Hannah Schroeder received $3,300 in 2024 and $3,000 in 2025, while Katie Brummer received $2,500 in 2025 after a $2,300 grant in 2024. Kansas State University is another recurring destination. Morgan Eberle received $3,500 in 2025 and $2,550 in 2024, and Leah Brummer received $2,550 in 2024 and $2,500 in 2025. The pattern suggests support that follows students through more than one academic year.
Typical awards are small and tightly clustered: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $1,900, and the 75th percentile is $2,250. The recent grants list also includes a handful of larger scholarships around $3,000 to $3,625, but most awards sit below that range. The trust appears to make recurring grants rather than one-time gifts, since multiple students receive follow-on scholarships across 2023, 2024, and 2025. It funds individuals directly and uses restricted scholarship awards for tuition or college-cost support. Program-related investments are not part of its activity.
