GRAMBLING STATE AWARDED MORE THAN $175,000 FOR SPRING SEMESTER SCHOLARSHIPS

A total of 61 different donor-funded scholarships totaling $176,977 were awarded to 161 Grambling State University students for the 2024 spring semester.

Collectively, these scholarships received 4,283 applications, which were reviewed by a dedicated team that included the GSU Scholarship Committee, Financial Aid staff, and University Advancement and Innovation staff.

The Dr. Neari F. Warner Endowed Student Scholarship was the most awarded, going to 24 recipients, while the Coca-Cola Scholars and adidas Power of Sport Fund of Oregon Community Foundation each awarded 10 scholarships.

“The vast majority of students attending Grambling State University qualify for some form of federal aid, so when you understand the economic backgrounds of our campus scholars, I am inspired to maximize the available dollars from our non-endowed and endowed scholarship funds to make a positive difference in their lives,” Logan said.

“Year after year our scholarships have proven to be the difference between students maintaining a good standing with the university to finish coursework for a semester.”

Vice President for University Advancement and Innovation Brandon A. Logan said those scholarships are crucial for many Grambling State students.
