Celebrating Brookshire Scholars – LSU will achieve transformative progress in scholarship funding and support for military veterans via a $7.575 million gift to elevate the College of Engineering’s S&B Engineers and Constructors Scholarships, catalyze the new Future Scholars Pipeline Initiative, and establish the William A. Brookshire Veterans Law Clinic.

This latest gift to LSU by the William A. Brookshire Foundation continues the legacy of the late LSU alumnus William Alfred “Bill” Brookshire, who earned master’s and doctoral degrees in chemical engineering from LSU after becoming the first in his family to earn a high school diploma. His philanthropic focus at LSU is providing scholarships to working students and ensuring access to holistic on-campus support for military veterans and their families while commemorating the University’s military heritage.
