Brian McColpin Cheerleading Scholarship

The Brian McColpin Cheerleading Scholarship was established by Stephanie Carraway, Jennie Farmer, Courtney McGlynn & Lacey Price, former members of the Sam Houston State University All-Girl Cheerleading Squad from 2009-2013. The donors are wanting to establish this scholarship to honor their former coach, now friend and colleague, for his commitment to the Sam Houston Cheerleading Squads. Without Brian’s perseverance, the squad would not be where it is today. The four donors also recognize their lifelong friendship is a direct result of their membership in the squad. The donors are providing the funding for this scholarship to honor Brian’s mantra, “Be the alumni you always wanted.”
