A look at students from Mansfield making a splash at their colleges.

Christopher Herbert, a junior political science major and legal studies minor, is the recipient of this year's Ricky Barbour Memorial Scholarship.

Herbert, who is a member of the University of Delaware men's lacrosse team, received a pleasant surprise when he checked his email and found out he had been awarded a scholarship to help with tuition.

The scholarship is bestowed upon an upperclassman student-athlete majoring in political science and international relations or sociology and criminal justice with plans to pursue a law degree.

"It has definitely helped a lot," said Herbert about the Ricky Barbour Scholarship. "With school and lacrosse, I don't have extra time for a job and the scholarship eases my mind and lets me focus on more important things."

Herbert, who was red-shirted as a freshman, is a member of the University's Student Athlete Advisory Council. In accordance with the scholarship, Herbert also plans to attend law school after he graduates.
