Mayoral Scholarships are four-year full-tuition scholarships funded by Tulane University for selected New Orleans residents who are graduates of New Orleans high schools and who meet certain additional eligibility requirements for attendance to a full-time Undergraduate division of Tulane University. They are awarded to five incoming freshmen students based on academic merit and nomination by the Mayor of New Orleans. Scholarship recipients must be graduates of a New Orleans high school and residents of Orleans Parish. They must also have a strong academic record (based on grades, quality and difficulty of high school coursework, and standardized scores), have established financial need as determined by federal guidelines, have participated in extracurricular activities or community service and have demonstrated leadership ability, and have letters of recommendation from high school guidance counselors, principal, or headmaster.
