The Woodford R. Porter Scholarship recognizes and supports students who have achieved at high levels in the classroom, and demonstrated a deep and consistent commitment to serving others, with a passion for communities that embrace belonging and access. This scholarship seeks to honor individuals who not only volunteer their time and talents for the benefit of others, but also work actively to promote understanding, empathy and collaboration across differences in thought, perspective and life experience.

We believe service rooted in compassion and inclusivity has the power to transform both individuals and communities. Therefore, this scholarship celebrates those who lead with empathy, listen with openness, and work with integrity to make meaningful contributions to their schools, neighborhoods and beyond.

This scholarship is more than just financial assistance—it is an investment in tomorrow’s leaders, change-makers and bridge-builders. If you are a student who embraces diversity in all its forms and actively contributes to the betterment of your community through service, we encourage you to apply.

I love UofL for its energy, traditions and the pride that comes with being a Cardinal! I chose UofL because it creates an inclusive environment where I can learn and grow alongside students from various backgrounds and perspectives. UofL has outstanding professors and an amazing sense of community.

The Woodford R. Porter Scholarship helped cover the majority of my tuition and will continue to until I graduate. Students should consider UofL because of the community and acceptance. UofL can be a home for anyone. The love and support are like no other.
