STARKVILLE, Miss. - George and Kathy Bishop, a Texas couple with ties to Mississippi State University, gifted the school $100M for scholarship purposes. It's the largest gift to a higher education institution in Mississippi's history, according to MSU. It’s also among the largest contributions designated solely for scholarship support made to any university in the world. George Bishop graduated from MSU in 1958 with a degree in petroleum geology. He had a successful career in the oil and gas industry before founding GeoSouthern Energy in 1981. (WTVA 04/19/23)
