Way to go Eliza!!!

Eliza Molina Cruz is the 2026 recipient of the Michael Krantz Scholarship. The scholarship, established by Michael W. Krantz ’83 and Geralyn Semerena Krantz ’85, is awarded to a graduating senior from a Saline County high school who will attend Doane, with a preference given to first-generation students.

Cruz is a senior at Crete High School who plans to double major in psychology and Spanish at Doane, with a goal to become a mental health advocate within the Hispanic community.
