Sheriff Greg Champagne will award a $500 scholarship to a worthy St. Charles Parish high school senior in furthering their education and training in the state of Louisiana.
The funds are available through the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Honorary Membership Program, of which the sheriff is a member.
There are no restrictions on what the student winner will be able to use the money for. It is not a loan and is awarded as a gift to help with the cost of tuition and related expenses in higher education.
Limitations are that applicants must be permanent residents of Louisiana, scholarships must be utilized in higher education within the state of Louisiana, and must be enrolled as full-time, undergraduate students.
Applications must be submitted by April 1 and winners will be announced by May 1.
“Louisiana Sheriffs are pleased with the program’s ability to bring scholarship to Louisiana students bound for higher education. To continue to do so, and fund other important projects and initiatives, continued support of the Honorary Membership Program is essential,” Champagne said.
