麻豆视频app下载 students Eian Bailey of LaPlace, La., and Joshua Joubert of Lake Charles, La., have been selected for the University of Louisiana System鈥檚 Reginald F. Lewis Scholars program. Each year, 18 rising sophomores are chosen based on academic merit, financial need and demonstrated leadership skills.
The three-year program, created in 2021, is designed to enhance the collegiate experience of Black male students enrolled in the UL System鈥檚 nine universities. The students are provided educational programs, mentoring opportunities and co-curricular experiences, including a chance to study abroad during their junior year in college.
