Legacy Scholarship Students Receive Awards
The Alumni Legacy Scholarship Endowment was established in 2015 to encourage the children or other immediate family members of alumni of the ΝΓΧΣΟΘΙϊ to attend the university.
βWe are so happy to be able to help these legacy students,β said Jasmine Smith, Director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving. βWe are energized to raise funds for them because we know every dollar counts to ΝΓΧΣΟΘΙϊ students. And we host the best cornhole tournament around.β
Each June, the Roarinβ on the River Low Country Shrimp Boil is a hot, happy holiday when alumni gather for a feast and outdoor games. The food is traditional: shrimp, corn, potatoes. The annual cornhole tournament is a popular part of the day.
Scholarship students who successfully complete a year are encouraged to apply for the award again.
The award is for $1,000 per academic year.
The following students renewed their awards:
Jillian Cochran, Biology, Poteau

Raquel Spencer, Biochemistry, Fort Smith
