The Stories of the Amazing People Behind OWLS Scholarships:
Burd-Cook-Springer Scholarship
Alumni, friends, colleagues, organizations contributed to the Organization, Workforce, & Leadership Studies (OWLS) program to sustain the Burd-Cook-Springer Scholarship to award current and transfer students based on their cumulative GPA.
Jane Cappe Research Enhancement Award
The Jane Cappe Research Enhancement Award was named in honor of a Texas State University- San Marcos MSIS student. Jane completed her MSIS degree while holding both full and part-time jobs. During her time as a graduate student, she became convinced that there was a direct relationship between the effort expended in research and the amount of personal growth and critical skills that resulted. To promote these skills, the award focuses more on the quality of effort in research. The award was named after Ms. Capper because of her personal integrity, scholarship, critical thinking, and pursuit of excellence in the academic and non-academic environment.
