Trisha D. (Grayson) Atwater graduated from Sam Houston State University in May 2002 with a Bachelor in Business Administration with an emphasis in Human Resource Management. She was the first in all of her family to attend and graduate from college, so any financial assistance was greatly appreciated, as she was the sole person paying for college. She received a few scholarships in addition to financial aid along the way, which helped tremendously. It's the generosity and support received along the way that gives this scholarship reason and its name. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.
