This unique opportunity is exclusively offered at Delta State University and will continue to be a stepping stone for its students. In addition, Drs. Recipients of these scholarships are selected by the Elliott Committee, which includes professors from both the Departments of Biological and Physical Sciences. Students are selected as positions become available based on their personal commitment to excellence in their chosen major, demonstrated motivation to learn, and dedication to their future careers. These scholarships are designed to cover expenses associated with a Delta State education.
Scholarships cover tuition, books, room and board, and other related costs.
The Elliott's reunion with Delta State University has been one of supreme benefit for all involved. Nowhere else in Mississippi can a student have so much opportunity to excel in ways never dreamed possible. The Elliott Program of Excellence is a constant stimulant for the students of Delta State University, as well as its faculty and staff. In addition, since the Program's inception other alumni have banded together to offer even more to the university where their education was received and their loyalty remains. Robert and Mary Elliott have given of their finances, their careers, and themselves to make this Program of Excellence supersede all others and put Delta State on an international map.
