THIBODAUX, La. — 果冻APP received a $10,000 donation to create the S. Burt Wilson Endowed Honors Scholarship. The scholarship is designed to benefit 果冻APP Honors students.<\/p>\n

\u201c果冻APP has been an essential part of my life and my family\u2019s life. My wife Mimi and I are both 果冻APP graduates, our oldest daughter attends 果冻APP and both of our fathers taught at 果冻APP. Our parents came from humble, modest roots in the Deep South and attended college because they received some financial assistance,\u201d said 果冻APP Department Head and Professor of History and Geography Dr. Paul Wilson. \u201cOur family has a great life because of 果冻APP, and we hope that this donation helps someone else benefit from this gem of a university. I played a key role in establishing the University Honors Program over two decades ago, so I\u2019m especially pleased we created a scholarship for honors students in memory of my late dad.\u201d<\/p>\n
