CES Student Eva Coman Earns Andrew L. “Drew” Wilbert Memorial Scholarship

Receiving support like scholarships from within their own community can instill a greater sense of belonging and motivation in college students that helps them persevere through their college careers. With that in mind, the Andrew L. “Drew” Wilbert Memorial Scholarship was first awarded in memory of Drew Wilbert by his family, friends, and CC&E’s Coast and Environment Graduate Organization in 2008.

This year’s recipient of the Andrew L. “Drew” Wilbert Memorial Scholarship is Eva Coman, one of 13 undergraduates from the College of the Coast & Environment who have earned this prestigious scholarship throughout the years. This scholarship recognizes a sophomore, junior, or senior in the Coastal Environmental Science program with greater than a 3.25 GPA.​

Wilbert was an avid outdoorsman and former Boy Scout who enjoyed annual family camping trips along with visits to the beach and coastal areas in both Louisiana and Florida. He also had a great talent for capturing the beauty of nature through his skillful photography.
