STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥 The 亚洲色吧视频 Alumni Association announces Andrew Weddle of Saltillo as the recipient of the fourth annual tuition drawing. For the upcoming spring 2017 semester at 亚洲色吧视频, Weddle will be awarded 12 credit hours of 鈥榝ree鈥 tuition.
A freshman business administration major, Weddle was surprised with the presentation of an oversized check during his honors English class. He said he is grateful to the MSU Alumni Association and its student organization for the generous gift awarded through the drawing.
鈥淎s a son and grandson of 亚洲色吧视频 alumni, I consider it a great privilege to attend this university,鈥 said Weddle. 鈥淚t means so much to my family and me, and I cannot express how truly thankful we are.鈥
The tuition drawing program began in 2013 and has been coordinated by the university鈥檚 Alumni Delegates, a select group of about 40 diverse students that works to improve understanding of the alumni association鈥檚 role through service to their campus and the university鈥檚 more than 137,000 living alumni.
Each semester, the sale of tickets is open to parents of in-state underclassmen enrolled full-time at MSU in order to generate financial support. Weddle鈥檚 name was drawn in November from 488 student entrants.
鈥淭he tuition drawing is a way for the Alumni Delegates to positively influence the student experience. This year, almost 3,100 tickets were sold for the drawing, generating more than $12,800. The amount beyond the 鈥榝ree鈥 tuition awarded to Andrew will go toward a scholarship endowment, with the goal of eventually helping even more students with tuition expenses,鈥 said Jeff Davis, executive director of the MSU Alumni Association.
