Lafayette, La– Ochsner Lafayette General Foundation is honored to announce the 2024 - 2025 recipients of the Mayci Breaux Scholarship Fund. The announcement comes on Mayci’s birthday. This year three students were awarded $1,000 scholarships each:

Mayci Breaux (Baldwin, La.) graduated from Hanson Memorial High School in 2012, South Louisiana Community College and went on to attend Louisiana State University at Eunice, where she was studying to become an ultrasound and radiologic technologist. Mayci lost her life on July 23, 2015 when a gunman opened fire at the Grand Theater in Lafayette, La. “The Mayci Breaux Scholarship Fund has allowed us to build a legacy that will go on for many years to come to provide students with financial assistance to complete the education that Mayci dreamed of since high school,” said Mayci’s mother, Dondie Breaux.

The Mayci Breaux Scholarship is awarded to Louisiana residents who are enrolled in a radiologic technology program at a Louisiana college or university. The student must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above at the time of application.
