The Delta State University Delta Center for Culture and Learning recently welcomed another class of Robertson Scholars to the Delta. Each scholar will stay in the Delta four to six weeks working at the St. Gabriel Mercy Center in Mound Bayou, the Sunflower Freedom Project in Sunflower County, or in the Delta Center. Robertson Scholarships are prestigious awards that allow recipients to take classes at both Duke University and the University of North Carolina. They also allow recipients to travel anywhere during their summers, and many spend time in several countries before graduation.
