Cynthia,
Greetings from the University of Louisville!
With the UofL scholarship application now available, we are actively working with high school counselors to gather the names of academically talented Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino seniors who qualify for specific scholarships within our office. We ask that you please review the following UofL diversity scholarship descriptions and criteria, and follow the links to nominate your students as soon as possible. The scholarship application deadline is December 15, 2016. Please note: If you nominate a student for the Woodford R. Porter Scholarship and that student also qualifies for the Martin Luther King Scholars Program, there is no need to complete the MLK Scholars Program nomination. The student will be automatically considered for both scholarships.
Woodford R. Porter Scholarship
Black/African American Students with 3.0 GPA and 20 ACT*
The Woodford R. Porter Scholarship was named after the former trustee, Woodford R. Porter Sr., known for his dedication to strong advocacy for education in Louisville, KY. His famous saying was "education is the great equalizer," as he believed it to be the ultimate path towards self and collective improvement. This scholarship annually provides over 200 Black/African American students with a variety of awards ranging from $2,000 to full in-state tuition, plus a stipend to cover room, food and book expenses
