ALEXANDRIA - Louisiana State University of Alexandria has announced the recipient of the prestigious Howard and Eloise Mulder Endowed Scholarship.
Makenzie Mulberry, a senior at Tioga High School, will be the 2022-2023 Mulder Scholar. Makenzie plans to major in pre-veterinary science.
“I am so excited I won the Mulder Scholarship,” said Mulberry. “Thank you so much for this opportunity. I had a great time telling my story during the interview process and seeing the campus where I will start in the fall. I am excited to begin this amazing journey to become a veterinarian. I am just so happy I can do it at LSUA.”
The scholarship will cover the full cost of each semester’s tuition, fees, books, on-campus housing, and meal plans incurred as a direct result of the recipient’s attendance at LSUA. The scholarship will be awarded to the student throughout their academic career at LSUA.
