Wichita State awards $65K in scholarships to entrepreneurial students
This year's winners are Wyatt Ochs, a homeschool student from Wichita, and Jennifer C. Sanchez-Reyes from Derby High School.
They will each receive more than $32,700 over four years to attend WSU and major in entrepreneurship.
Eight Wichita teachers awarded as outstanding
Ochs operates a lawn care business with over 50 weekly clients and four employees, which he started in 2019. He also runs a woodworking company and a goose prevention service called Goos-B-Gone.
'My entrepreneurial goal is to take the knowledge I have learned from my current business and the knowledge I will learn at Wichita State to start a business in college and expand it after graduation,' Ochs said in a news release.
Sanchez-Reyes owns a small jewelry business that designs and sells bracelets. Before earning the scholarship, she was unsure if she would attend school.
'Honestly, this scholarship has changed my life completely,' Sanchez-Reyes said in a news release. 'A few days before getting the amazing news, I started to think that maybe college was going to be too expensive and I considered not attending. I was getting a little discouraged. Now that I have the opportunity to attend college as a Jabara Scholar, I will be able to focus on learning and not how I can pay for it.'
The Jabara Scholarship is one of the largest of its kind nationally for entrepreneurs.
'The Barton School was a pioneer in offering a dedicated entrepreneurship major, and we continue to stand at the forefront of entrepreneurial education,' Larisa Genin, dean of the Barton School of Business, said in a statement. 'The Jabara Scholars are an integral part of this enduring legacy, poised to forge their own path in the world of innovation and business.'

Iran Spells Out Conditions for Nuclear Talks
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister and lead nuclear negotiator laid out preconditions to engaging in negotiations with the United States in a post on X on Thursday. Newsweek has reached out to the U.S. State Department for comment. Why It Matters If talks fail to get back on track, there is a higher risk of further military action against Iran's nuclear program from the United States as well as Israel. Kazem Gharibabadi's latest comments follow his warning that Iran would consider withdrawing from the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) if European powers trigger a mechanism reinstituting international sanctions against the Islamic Republic later this year. A fragile truce between Iran and Israel holds but tensions have grown following the 12-day conflict last month during which the U.S. also bombed Iran's nuclear facilities, with diplomacy stalled and renewed threats of war.

David Smith/AP Photo What To Know According to Gharibabadi, Iran's deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs, Tehran wants U.S. guarantees that negotiations won't serve as a cover for military threats before reengaging in talks. Recognition of Iran's right to peaceful nuclear enrichment under the NPT and full sanctions relief are among the terms it has set amid global efforts to revive dialogue over its nuclear program, he stated. The United States has said Iran must drop all enrichment of uranium, a process which can also lead to building nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program has only civilian goals. Iran's spokesperson for the Atomic Energy Organization said Thursday that the nuclear industry of Iran is domestically rooted and "will once again flourish," the Islamic Republic News Agency quoted him as saying. What People Are Saying Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi wrote on X: "For entering negotiations, several key principles are important: gaining Iran's trust, as Iran has no trust in the United States, not using negotiations as a platform for hidden agendas such as military action—although Iran will be fully prepared—respecting and recognizing Iran's rights under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, including enrichment in accordance with Iran's desired needs, and lifting sanctions." U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce told reporters Tuesday: "The ball is in their court. The Iranian leadership has a window of opportunity to choose a path of peace and prosperity for their people, and we are also ready to talk directly to the Iranians. However, we are also closely coordinated with our E3 partners." What Happens Next Iran will meet on Friday in Turkey with representatives of France, Germany and the United Kingdom for nuclear negotiations.
