Scholarship recipients introduced at the tournament were, from left, Tyler Haynes of Jones, La.; Nicholas Inman of Wabash; Kyle Fuller of Poplar Grove; and Zoe Teague of Jonesboro.

The Delta Classic Scholarship Golf Tournament July 13 at the Helena Country Club raised more than $35,000 to fund scholarships for students in the Department of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences.

The annual tournament has raised over $195,000 for scholarships in eight years. Forty students have received scholarships, and an endowment is being built so that investment earnings can fund more scholarships in the future, interim Department Head Robert Bacon said.

The Syngenta Team #1 of, from left, Patrick Ewan of Collierville, Steve Harrison of Collierville, Ralph Lachney of Germantown, and Tony Durham of Germantown, won the tournament's third flight.

Compton said, “The members of CSES Alumni and Friends put in many hours to put together the tournament. The Helena Country Club is a very gracious host and makes it easy for us.  In addition to awarding Delta Classic Scholarships to students for the past eight years, we have been able to put aside $81,000 toward the endowment of the James L. Barrentine scholarship. This year’s tournament will put us a step closer to reaching our goal of $100,000 for the endowment.”
