“This scholarship is rooted in faith and gratitude, and represents a lasting commitment to access, belonging, and the belief that every student deserves the opportunity to thrive at UL Lafayette.”

Mary Hooks Baudoin, an alumnus and staff member in the Department of Accounting at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, has established a scholarship in honor of her daughter, Alexis "Lexi" Barbry, who passed away on April 14, 2026, at the age of 28.

The Alexis Barbry Non-Endowed Scholarship in UL LIFE was born from her family’s love and shaped by Lexi's courage. The scholarship will provide financial support to students enrolled in the UL LIFE (Learning Is For Everyone) Program, and Lexi’s memory will continue to uplift others.
