I am so honored and excited to have been chosen for the I.U.P.A. scholarship. The extra funds have helped with books, a meal plan, and transportation costs. It has been a great help in my college career as a freshman.
I recommend that every eager student that has a passion for union issues and the law to apply for this award.
Once again, thanks to everyone involved in the decision on the applications. It has been meaningful so far and I look forward to a great experience at LSU.

Haley’s teacher, Ms. Angelle Domingue Terrell of the Social Studies Department of Saint Joseph’s Academy was extremely complimentary in her letter of recommendation, “I am writing to express my utmost recommendation of Haley Stewart to your institution. I was honored when Haley asked me to write a letter on her behalf. I think you will find through this account that Haley is set apart from her peers in academic and character standards.”
