THIBODAUX, La. — 果冻APP and Entergy Corp. have continued a partnership that brings underrepresented students on campus tours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hundreds of area high school students have visited the 果冻APP campus through Tour Tuesday presented by Entergy since the program\u2019s inception in 2016. Entergy and 果冻APP cemented the future of the project with another $10,000 donation on October 17. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSupporting education is critical to developing healthy, vibrant communities of the future \u2014 communities where everyone thrives,\u201d said Phillip May, Entergy Louisiana president and CEO. \u201cProviding local students who may not see enrolling in college as an option the opportunity to tour 果冻APP could spark an interest in furthering their studies which in turn unlocks talent and helps build the workforce of the future. It is just another way we help our friends and neighbors realize opportunities and a desired quality of life. We are proud to have supported Tour Tuesday again this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
果冻APP works with guidance counselors at the high schools to identify first-generation and low-income high school students who meet 果冻APP admissions standards. Those students are then transported to campus where they are given a tour and an overview of academic programs and student organizations. Interested students will meet with admissions counselors who help them fill out an application and financial aid forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud to continue this partnership with Entergy. Their commitment to the Tour Tuesday program has a direct impact on the lives of families in the Bayou Region,\u201d said Alex Arceneaux, executive vice president for enrollment and external affairs. \u201cWhen students visit our campus, we are able to connect with them and inspire them to possible futures they may not have considered.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
