• Have children who receive half or more of their support from you
• Have a legal dependents (other than spouse or child) who lives with you and receives half or more of their support from you

The NTSO meets one Friday each month (September through May) at 1 p.m. in ULM's Student Center. Visit ULM's online calendar for details: www.ulm.edu/calendar. We’d love to see you there!

What’s in it for me?
The Non-Traditional Student Organization (NTSO) is an open forum for students to discuss daily campus life for non-trads, as well as a chance to meet other non-traditional students. NTSO can help you form study groups, participate in campus contests, and connect with the ULM campus on a more personal level.
NTSO will host events during Week of Welcome and Homecoming, as well as a Halloween event for children, monthly meetings, and other various events.
A $500 non-renewable scholarship is also available only to members of NTSO! Each semester, one student receives a $500 scholarship. For more information about the scholarship, please visit:
