INTERVIEW: Louisiana College’s Brewer shares about new scholarships, building improvements

By Message Staff

Louisiana College is positioned for a bright future, President Rick Brewer told Louisiana Baptists Associate Director of Communications and Stewardship Strategist Matt Tullos, during a recent interview.

“Our vision is to prepare graduates and transform lives,” Brewer added, describing Louisiana College as “transformational” through the exceptional people, programs and places students experience by being part of the Wildcat family and being active in its campus community.

Brewer shared about new scholarships, such as the C.S. Lewis Honors Scholars Program (valued at $8,500) for qualified enrolling freshmen who score 28 or higher on the ACT, and, the Francis Schaeffer Scholarship Program, a $2,500 tuition scholarship per year for four years — that requires involvement as leaders for Disciple Now events in Louisiana Baptist churches, as well participation in mission service projects.

Brewer also said 17 buildings on campus have received new roofs, windows in Alexandria Hall have been replaced and Guinn Auditorium is undergoing a $6.5 million refurbishment, adding that he hopes the renovations inside Guinn Auditorium will be complete by the summer of 2018.

He also expressed gratitude to Louisiana Baptists.

“The support they give us through the Cooperative Program is a powerful investment in the future,” he said.
