This scholarship reflects the Holcombe family’s commitment to supporting higher education and fostering opportunities for students pursuing degrees in Computer Science or Cybersecurity. Designed to assist full-time students who demonstrate financial need and academic excellence, the scholarship will help ensure that deserving students can achieve their educational goals.
Born in Brussels, Belgium, Renaud L. Holcombe moved to Alexandria, Louisiana, with his family. He attended Bolton High School and graduated from the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts. A gifted student, Renaud went on to earn a degree in Computer Science from Loyola University New Orleans. An amateur cyclist and glass-blower, and an avid reader, Renaud was a talented data architect who had a passion for life and learning. This scholarship honors his legacy by empowering others to follow in his footsteps.
Recipients of the Renaud L. Holcombe Scholarship must be full-time LSUA students majoring in Computer Science or Cybersecurity, maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5, and demonstrate financial need. The scholarship is renewable annually, provided recipients continue to meet the eligibility requirements.
The LSUA Foundation expresses profound gratitude to the Holcombe family for their meaningful gift, which will leave a lasting impact on the university and its students.
