METAIRIE – The OnPath Foundation has announced the recipients of its 2025 High School Scholarship Program, awarding $2,000 scholarships to 20 outstanding high school seniors from across Louisiana as they begin their college journeys.
This year’s program represents a $40,000 investment in the future of Louisiana students, made possible through the Foundation’s Education support pillar which is dedicated to increasing educational access and long-term opportunity.
This year’s selection process was highly competitive, with the Foundation receiving significantly more applications than available awards. Applicants were evaluated on academic performance, leadership, community involvement, and their personal commitment to making a difference.
“We believe education is one of the most powerful tools to create generational change,” said Jay Huffstatler, Executive Director of the OnPath Foundation. “These students have demonstrated resilience, commitment, and a drive to succeed—and we are honored to support them as they take the next step in their journey. Investing in them is an investment in a stronger, more equitable future for all of us.”
The 2025 scholarship recipients represent a diverse range of schools, backgrounds, and aspirations—and each one reflects the Foundation’s belief that all students deserve a chance to thrive.
