The USPOULTRY Foundation awarded a $7,000 student recruiting grant to Sam Houston State University in Texas. The grant was made possible in part by an endowing USPOULTRY Foundation gift from Jerry and Cherie Moye.
Funds provided by this grant will help to support active recruiting of youth at events such as the San Antonio Livestock Show, National and State FFA Conventions and visits to high schools and community colleges. Additionally, the grant funds will be used for recruiting at Saturday@Sam, a biannual campus visitation day exposing prospective students and families to department academics, opportunities and facilities. Seminars will also be provided to Texas 4-H and FFA youth.
