What does it take to succeed in business? Al A. Gonsoulin will tell you it's not grades alone.

Recently, recipients of the Alton & Evelyn Gonsoulin, Sr. Scholarship in Business sat down with Mr. Gonsoulin. They heard about his career in the oil and gas industry and said thank you in person for investing in their futures.

His $2 million gift created four scholarships, named for his mother and father and supports undergraduate and graduate students in the B.I. Moody III College of Business Administration

Mr. Gonsoulin has seen that the best business leaders are the ones willing to work hard, take risks, and do what it takes. His scholarships honor that belief by recognizing students with strong character and a commitment to their education, across a range of GPAs.

The impact is big: up to 730 scholarships over 10 years, opening doors for generations of University of Louisiana at Lafayette students.

Thank you, Mr. Gonsoulin, for believing in our Ragin' Cajuns.

When Caemon Scott established the University of Louisiana at Lafayette's Mental Health Week in November 2023, he made us one of the first schools in the South, outside of an HBCU, to adopt a campus-wide mental wellness initiative of its kind.

Two years later, he added the You Are Not Alone Scholarship to reduce the financial pressure that weighs on so many students. He knows those pressures firsthand.

"It was very stressful, and it was a time when I was at my lowest. But promoting and advocating for the scholarship motivated me to continue to give back. It kept me going."

Mental Health Week returns November 10–12. Learn more about Caemon's story: bit.ly/4dUoaHY
