The Megan E. Taylor Memorial Scholarship Fund
Honoring the memory of a Kansas high school student who loved music, dance and Spanish the Megan E. Taylor Memorial Scholarship Fund was established by her parents, William and Marilyn Taylor of Overland Park, Kansas.

Megan was an outstanding student and an accomplished flute player. Her family and friends' love and admiration for her, continues to endure and touch the lives of so many in her memory.
