“When I attended LSU Health Shreveport in the late 80s, tuition was manageable, and I was fortunate to graduate with only $2500 in loan debt for my physical therapy degree. Today, the cost of education has risen dramatically, and many students must ask themselves if their chosen professional degree is worth the debt.

That’s why I’m eager to announce the launch of the “School of Allied Health Scholarship Fund”, designed to ease this financial burden for deserving students. By supporting this fund, you can help gifted students pursue their education without the crushing weight of debt, allowing them to focus on what matters most: their future in healthcare.

I invite you to make a tax-deductible gift to the Scholarship Fund. Whether this is your first gift or a continued commitment, your donation will directly impact the lives of our students and help ensure they can graduate ready to make a difference in the world.

Thank you for your support. Together, we can make these professions more sustainable for the future and higher education at LSU Health Shreveport more accessible for all students.”
