The University of Texas at Tyler Palestine Campus recognized student achievement at a scholarship dinner, President Rodney H. Mabry announced.

The recipients celebrated with members of the Palestine Campus Development Council and scholarship donors.

Over a 15-year period these scholarships combined have provided in excess of $1 million in scholarships to Palestine Campus nursing students, according to Mabry.
