in early January. Applications are available or at any SCS campus location. To be eligible,
a part-time student must demonstrate academic merit, be a member
of an ethnic minority group and must pursue a major, minor, or post-bacculaureate
certificate in casino/resort management. Four scholarships are awarded
annually in the amount of $1,500; the scholarships are renewable
for up to five years, provided that the recipients maintain a sufficient
GPA and continue to pursue a major/minor or certificate in casino/resort
management. These scholarships were endowed with a generous gift
from the Harrah's Foundation. Louis E. Barrilleaux Scholarships for Alpha
Sigma Lambda members: application deadlines in mid-spring semester

College; they were endowed through generous gifts from UC alumnus
Joseph W. Davenport, Jr ('66) and friends and family of Dr. Barrilleaux.
Elmo and Margaret Allen Waltzer Scholarship: no applications accepted; students are nominated for this award by SCS advisers. The scholarship rewards a high-achieving part-time student enrolled in The School of Continuing Studies. The scholarship is named in memory of UC alumnus Elmo Waltzer (UC '54), a charter member of UC's Alpha Sigma Lambda chapter and his wife Margaret Allen Waltzer, who were both supporters of lifelong education. For more information, students should consult their adviser.
