Mr. Lloyd Adams
The Cyd Adams Memorial Scholarship was established in 2005 by his friends and family.
A 1973 SFA graduate, Cydney “Cyd” Adams integrated his background as an East Texas farmer and a passion for hard labor into his writings as he shared the trials and tribulations of the common working man.
He was a poet and professor of English at SFA for more than 30 years. Cyd died May 15, 2005.
Impact
It’s first year, this scholarship was awarded to an incoming English major, and in subsequent years, it has been open to any U.S. citizen regardless of major or classification. An essay is required as part of selection criteria.
