Scholarship

Six college students majoring in agriculture received scholarships during a presentation by the Northeast Texas Beef Improvement Organization cattle sale at the Sulphur Springs Livestock Auction Wednesday.

NETBIO CEO Dwyatt Bell presented the scholarships and introduced the recipients to the livestock sale audience.

Receiving the J.D. Norris scholarship was Hannah Wilson of Bagwell, a student in the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine who is seeking a doctorate degree in veterinary medicine.

Also receiving NETBIO scholarships were Kilgore College senior animal science and production major Sydnie Borders; Texas A&M University-Commerce animal science major Brynden Andrews of Como; A&M-Commerce student Carson Hicks of Sulphur Springs who is seeking a master’s degree in agricultural science; A&M-Commerce agribusiness major Kelley Smith of Wylie; and A&M-Commerce senior animal science major Ann-Marie Robinson of Seagoville.

NETBIO awards these scholarships each year to students from the Northeast Texas area who are interested in completing their degrees and returning to the area to practice their agriculture-related trades.

“We are proud of our young people and glad that through these scholarships, NETBIO can help them attain their dream,” said Bell.

NETBIO was organized in 1998 to promote pre-conditioned stocker and feeder calf production and to hold sales offering producers the opportunity to sell their cattle in truckload lots. Eight sales are held each year in Sulphur Springs.
