Join us on May 23, 2026, as we honor the heroes who protect our community. This annual event supports Veterans or First Responders in their journey to further their education here at Nicholls State University. For this year’s Heroes 5K, we are hoping to award the proceeds to an active nurse or EMT who is pursuing further education at Nicholls. If you have any recommendations for a student who would benefit from a scholarship such as this, please contact us at "tanner.leboeuf@nicholls.edu" or "gilberto.burbante@nicholls.edu".
