The William Heyen Memorial Scholarship for Exceptional Achievement in the Arts is awarded annually to a graduating senior at Wichita Christian School who has demonstrated outstanding talent, dedication, and Christlike character in the arts.
The scholarship's namesake, William Heyen, graduated from Wichita Christian School in 2018.
Heyen died from injuries suffered in a motorcycle crash on Southwest Parkway on Sunday, April 27, 2025.
'This scholarship honors his legacy by encouraging others to pursue their artistic gifts with excellence, integrity, and a heart that reflects God's love,' officials with Wichita Christian Schools said in a Facebook post.
