Jessie Allen, left, trustee for the Dickson-Allen Foundation, presents a check for $25,000 to Courtney Middleton-Sides, UHV senior director for corporate and foundation relations. The $25,000 was given to the university for the Dickson-Allen Scholarship, which offers scholarships to students from Lavaca, Wharton and Gonzales counties. The scholarship awards each student up to $2,500. The foundation has donated to UHV every year since 2004.
