“We are excited that AEP SWEPCO has once again chosen to generously fund a student scholarship here at A&M-Texarkana,” said LeAnne Wright, associate vice president for University Advancement. “In the past three years, the AEP SWEPCO Scholarship has made it possible for six students to fulfill their educational goals. We are very grateful to AEP SWEPCO for their commitment to higher education in our region.”
