On Wednesday, May 28, the Cam Jordan Foundation hosted a heartfelt and inspiring ceremony at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center, celebrating the first-ever recipients of the Cam Jordan Legacy Scholarship Program. Four outstanding Louisiana high school graduating seniors were honored and presented with full-tuition scholarships to in-state colleges and universities, officially launching a new chapter in their academic and leadership journeys.
Surrounded by family, community leaders, and corporate partners and of course the support of Jordan, each scholar was presented with a ceremonial check and a new computer laptop donated by Microsoft to support their college success. The event highlighted the power of community investment, mentorship, and the belief that every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive.
“This is what legacy looks like,” said Jordan, New Orleans Saints All-Pro defensive end and founder of the Cam Jordan Foundation. “We’re not just giving out scholarships—we’re walking alongside these students, investing in their future, and building something that will impact Louisiana for generations to come.”
The Cam Jordan Legacy Scholarship Program provides each recipient with $12,500 per year for tuition and other college expenses. In addition to financial support, scholars will benefit from professional development resources including:
The program is supported by key partners including Raising Cane’s, Microsoft, GOOGLE Pathfinder Beyond Sports, and Entergy—each playing an active role in mentorship and career support.
The Legacy Scholarship Program is grounded in three pillars:
Applicants were selected based on academic achievement (3.0 GPA or higher), financial need, and demonstrated commitment to service and leadership. All four scholars plan to attend public in-state colleges or universities in Louisiana this fall.
