Dear Mr. James Watts:
I am honored to be selected as a recipient of the Mississippi State Equine Association Endowed Scholarship. Thank you for your genrosity in providing this award. Originally from Arkansas, I am entering into my senior year studying Animal and Dairy Sciences. With my acceptance into the Early Entry Veterinary Program, I plan to also enter Vet School next summer at MSU to complete a DVM.
Cindy B. Renfrow, South Central MS Horsemen Association
Dear James and James:
On behalf of our South Central Association, I would like to thank the both of you for your generous contribution you made to our group! While I now remember you doing it in the past, this was not expected. With the season over and awards being ordered, our bank account is on the low side. This will definitely help with the start of our new season, which we hope to start in October.
