The Samuel Jackson family has long recognized the
contribution that Dr. Calvin Parnell of Texas A&M University has made to the
cotton industry through his mentorship and training of students. We are pleased to offer a
scholarship each year to be used at Dr. Parnell's discretion for helping augment
the training of his most promising young minds. Below are two letters received
in 2002 from students who received this benefit from Dr. Parnell.
