Oscar Cahn and Kurt and Irmgard Fisher Scholarship

The scholarship has been named the Oscar Cahn and Kurt and Irmgard Fisher Scholarship established by family and friends in honor and in memory of Oscar Cahn, Irmgard Cahn Fisher and Kurt Fisher and the purpose is to provide scholarships for deserving students.

1. Recipient(s) must be a resident of Louisiana.

2. Donor intent is to assist students who have a financial need as evidenced by the Student Aid Report (SAR) received by the university after the FAFSA process is complete each year and who might otherwise be unable to attend college without this scholarship. Students who are eligible for federal educational grants which do not have to be repaid, such as Federal Pell Grants, are not eligible for this scholarship, absent very extenuating circumstances. The Admissions Office shall have the latitude to make such a decision keeping in mind the original intent of this donation.
