History of the Scholarship
This award was developed in 2024, and is supported by Thibault Gehin.
Thibault, known as Tbo, is a Texas State alumnus from a small town in France. A past recipient of both awards—then unfunded—he chose to enhance them by providing funding, empowering students to excel. Now a project manager at Morrison Financial, he is committed to giving back.
Be enrolled as a student earning a Master’s in Business Administration or as an international student at the McCoy College of Business.

Beginning with this cycle, the Grusendorf Award will be enhanced thanks to a gift from sociology alumna and former Grusendorf Award recipient Kenzie Nasser (’22), whose contribution reflects her commitment to honoring academic excellence and investing in future sociology students.
Recognizing the top undergraduate students in each of the six majors within the McCoy College of Business, this award celebrates academic excellence, leadership, and achievement. Six students are selected annually to receive a $500 award.
Beginning in 2026, Clinton B. Morris will fund a $4,000 annual scholarship for the next five years recognizing an outstanding senior in the Texas State Construction Science & Management Program. The award honors a graduating senior with strong potential in the construction industry.
