One Acadiana Scholarships (some for second-year college students; tell your siblings or check to see if your ULL DE status counts):

One Acadiana is proud to launch two scholarships for returning students in the Acadiana region, in partnership with South Louisiana Community College and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

Scholarship Recipients

While many high school graduates receive funding and assistance to enter their freshman year at a higher education institution, fewer scholarship opportunities exist for students continuing their education. To address this, the One Acadiana Scholarships will be awarded to one SLCC student and one UL Lafayette student. Eligible students must be full-time or part-time students with a 2.0 GPA, pursuing any major, who have completed a minimum of 1 semester (SLCC) or a minimum of 60 credit hours (UL Lafayette).
