Tulane University of Louisiana Scholarships

Mayoral Scholarship

Scholarship Description

Mayoral Scholarships are full-tuition scholarships awarded to five incoming freshmen students based on academic merit and nomination by the Mayor of New Orleans. Scholarship recipients must be graduates of a New Orleans high school and residents of Orleans Parish. They must also have a strong academic record (based on grades, quality and difficulty of high school coursework, and standardized scores), have established financial need as determined by federal guidelines, have participated in extracurricular activities or community service and have demonstrated leadership ability, and have letters of recommendation from high school guidance counselors, principal, or headmaster. Mayoral Scholarships are renewed without reapplication for four years of undergraduate study (five years for Architecture students) provided that the student maintains a 2.300 cumulative grade point average, residency in Orleans parish, residency in Louisiana, and full-time enrollment in Paul Tulane College, Newcomb College, the School of Architecture, the School of Business, the School of Engineering, or the School of Public Health. Students enrolled in University College are not eligible unless they are enrolled full time in the Exercise Science Program.. Students may not receive a Mayoral Scholarship in combination with any other Tulane merit scholarship, ROTC scholarship, Faculty-Staff Tuition Waiver or Tuition Exchange Scholarship. Students may combine the award with a partial athletic scholarship. Students offered a Legislative Scholarship may also qualify for need-based aid.
