Brice Everett Wallace of Arp, formerly of Nacogdoches, a junior at The University of Texas at Tyler, is a 2024 history scholar. A history major, Wallace received the UT Tyler Jackson Academic Achievement Award in the amount of $600.

The UT Tyler Department of History presents scholarships to declared history majors in recognition of excellent academic performance, and to encourage the study of history at the university. This award honors the memory of historian Phil Stacy Jackson, a distinguished UT Tyler history graduate.

“We congratulate Brice, who is a prime example of the excellent students we have in history,” said Dr. Neil Gray, dean of the UT Tyler College of Arts and Sciences. “I also want to thank our history faculty for being tremendous mentors and supporters of our students.”

Wallace will graduate in fall 2025 with a UT Tyler Bachelor of Arts in history and double minor in anthropology and mass communication. After graduation, he plans to further his education and pursue a master’s degree at UT Tyler.

“I have very much enjoyed my time at UT Tyler and am grateful for the opportunities I have been given here to continue my education,” Wallace said. “As I move toward the future, I hope to combine my love of history and photography into a fulfilling career.”
