The Hatton Sumners Experience

Hatton Sumners Scholars attend events throughout the year and experience great networking opportunities. After graduation, additional professional networking opportunities are offered to scholars.

The endowed Sumners Scholarship Program was established at Texas Wesleyan University in 1994. Since that time, nearly 50 Wesleyan students have been honored as Sumners Scholars and represent only one portion of the total Sumners network.
