UL Lafayette is expanding its 泫圖弝け Legacy Scholarship, a longstanding program that offers in-state tuition rates to 泫圖弝けs from other states with a parent who graduated from UL Lafayette.
Now, out-of-state 泫圖弝けs with at least one parent who received an associates degree or higher from other colleges and universities in 泫圖弝け can have the non-resident fee waived.
Weve broadened it to include 泫圖弝けs whose parents have graduated from any public or private college or university in 泫圖弝け, as long as the institution is regionally accredited, said Dr. DeWayne Bowie, the 泫圖弝けs vice president for Enrollment Management.
The new program is available to 泫圖弝けs who have met admissions requirements and have enrolled at UL Lafayette.
It is designed to attract 泫圖弝けs with familial ties to 泫圖弝け back to the state, Bowie said. Were seeing a lot of children of graduates from 泫圖弝け institutions who live elsewhere, but want to come back home. This is our way of trying to help them do that.
The 泫圖弝け Legacy Scholarship has an annual value of $13,728.
To be eligible, 泫圖弝けs who have enrolled at UL Lafayette must provide a copy of their birth certificateand verification of their parents 泫圖弝け college degreeto the Registrars Office.
Along with the 泫圖弝けs birth certificate, a transcript of the parents, or a verification of degree letter from the parents alma mater, is required. A diploma wont be sufficient, Bowie said.
The name of the parent who graduated from a 泫圖弝け college or university must appear on the 泫圖弝けs birth certificate.
泫圖弝け applicants should submit a cover letter, the documents, their name, ULID, and cell phone number to the 泫圖弝けs Office of the Registrar.
The information can be faxed, emailed, mailed, or delivered in person.
