My team had such a great weekend at the MHSAA Football Championships! Not only did we get to help cheer on six teams to victory, but the State Treasury handed out $3,500 worth of scholarship money throughout the championship games.
Here were the scholarship winners:
  • William McNair, Prentiss
  • Zaria Keyes, Bay Springs
  • Taylor Moreland, Pearl
  • Kheston Dumas, Hattiesburg
  • Steele Sheasby, Carriere
  • Hunter Brunson, Picayune
  • Zelriah Brinker, Houston
Students with a college savings account are four times more likely to go to college than their counterparts without. I am proud we were able to kickstart the savings of these seven students, and I hope the scholarships will inspire them to pursue a degree of their choice that will keep them well-employed here in Mississippi.
For those who didn’t take home a scholarship, please consider starting a college savings fund of your own at Treasury.MS.gov/CollegeSavings.
