Everett Wilson Biology Endowed Scholarship

Dr. Wilson came to then Sam Houston State Teachers College in 1962 and retired in the summer of 2006 after serving as a full-time faculty member for 44 years at the university. While he has compiled a long list of traditional academic and service accomplishments, what sets him apart from his colleagues is his commitment to helping educate young people who could not otherwise afford college. Since 1989 he has recruited, furnished partial or full tuition, transportation and free room and board for over 15 students from Indiana, Belize, Alaska, Antigua, Mexico, Texas, and Turkey. This endowment was established to honor the 44 years of dedicated service to SHSU and its students.
