Scholarships

We are looking for bright, motivated Southern California students who, having their choice of any school in the US, would rather go to UofL than anywhere else. If that’s the case, we can make it easier for them to do it.

Our local club has scholarship money available for students eager to attend a nationally recognized research and teaching institution. Here is some information you can share with bright high school students interested in attending school at Louisville.

You can see from the table that this could drop tuition to under $7,000 (7,944 + 1,000 - 2,000 = 6,944) before room, board and books. Given Louisville’s high academic standards and low cost of living, this is a DEAL. Please know that our scholarship is in no way related to any NCAA anything!! If you know of any NCAA athletes, please don’t even speak to them! Go directly to the school office or contact me and I’ll direct you there. (The NCAA requirements are a minefield, and you could inadvertently commit a violation.)

As you can imagine, there is fine print. If you want to know more, please contact Joseph Willenbrink (joseph@purewhitelight.com) or Bob Hoertz (hoertzgr@hotmail.com), and we’ll hook you up!

Include a copy of your transcript (an unofficial copy is just fine!) While you don't want to be a pain in the neck, it's a good idea to follow up; which Bob will interpret as enthusiasm. (If you are overdoing it, he'll let you know!) Bob's contact information: Bob Hoertz 1275 Holt Dr Placentia CA 92870-4251 (714) 996-2447 hoertzgr@hotmail.com
