About The UNO Ambassadors

The UNO Ambassadors is a student organization that promotes a strong, positive relationship between the University and the New Orleans community. One major goal of the organization is to ensure the continued growth and success of the UNO Ambassador Scholarship fund. The scholarship was created to ease the financial hardship that comes with a college education. UNO Ambassadors are not eligible for these scholarships.

The UNO ambassadors will be recruiting members each semester. Invitations will be sent via your email to all qualifying candidates. Make sure you check your UNO email account!!

As an Ambassador, you will be offered many wonderful opportunities which include developing interpersonal and leadership skills and making important contacts while serving as hosts and guides at official University functions, such as the Alumni Association’s Silver, Blue and Black Tie Too, Homecoming, Founders Day Convocation, conferences, and official University events.

In order to qualify for membership you must be a full-time undergraduate student with at least 30 credit hours completed with a minimum 2.7 GPA.

Each year the Ambassador organization is able to award two $500 scholarships. Although Ambassador students are NOT eligible for these scholarships, all other qualified students are encouraged to apply. Eligibility is based on the same criteria for potential members as outlined above
