Thibodeaux Bequest

Rarely do two people impact as many lives as have been impacted by the Dr. Ben and Clare Roy Thibodeaux planned gift to UL. An $8 million bequest in their will represents the largest-ever private gift to the University.

The Thibodeauxs' bequest established an endowment that will forever provide scholarship assistance for students who attend UL.
Each year, more than 100 entering freshmen from Lafayette, St. Martin parishes are offered  a 4-year scholarship (each valued at $8,000) from the Dr. Ben & Clare Roy Thibodeaux Endowed Scholarship Fund.

The Thibodeauxs heartily believed in helping students achieve their dream of receiving a college education. Their bequest is allowing many students' dreams to come true.
