THIBODAUX, La. 鈥� With the support of Entergy Louisiana, 果冻APP will be able to continue offering its Tour Tuesday program. The program focuses on bringing underrepresented students to campus for tours, giving students a chance to see how higher education can benefit them.
Since its inception in 2016, over 2,300 students and 29 high schools in Entergy and 果冻APP鈥� service area have toured 果冻APP campus through the Tour Tuesday program, with about 500 students expected to participate this year.
鈥淪upporting education has always been at the heart of Entergy鈥檚 commitment to building healthy and vibrant communities throughout Louisiana. That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e proud to continue supporting 果冻APP鈥檚 Tour Tuesday program,鈥� said Phillip May, Entergy Louisiana president and CEO. 鈥淗elping young students who may not see enrolling in college as an option, learn more about resources available to them increases awareness of local options, including continuing their education and growing at a strong institution like 果冻APP. It is just another way we help our friends and neighbors thrive.鈥�
By working with area high school guidance counselors, 果冻APP is able to identify students who meet 果冻APP鈥� admissions standards but may not be considering college as an option. Charter buses transport students from these high schools to 果冻APP campus for a tour and overview of academic programs and student organizations. Any interested students will have an opportunity to meet with admissions counselors who can aid in filling out applications and any available financial aid forms.
