Scholarship established in memory of grandfather

Dr. Ryan Jackson has established the Loyd Haden Tanner Memorial Scholarship in memory of his grandfather, Loyd Haden Tanner.

The $1,000 scholarship will be awarded yearly. To qualify, a student must have a 2.0 cumulative GPA, be enrolled in six credit hours, be a Wyoming resident, and have a financial need. Jackson noted that he prefers full-time students to apply but will also consider part-time students.

“My grandfather, Loyd Haden Tanner, was a petroleum geologist before starting his sewer and drain cleaning business,” said Jackson. “He raised me and my siblings after my parents divorced. He was my first employer and taught me the value of hard work and honesty in all things,” Jackson added. According to Jackson, the timing of the scholarship, to begin in 2025, is in honor of the year his grandfather would have celebrated his 100th birthday.
