Texas Tech Names Agricultural Scholars

Texas Tech's College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (CASNR) recognized 2010-2011 Dean's Scholars Feb. 18 at the Merket Alumni Center.

"These scholarships were established by the college to reward academic excellence and to support studious young men and women who choose to major in agricultural and natural sciences," said John M. Burns, dean of CASNR.
