Sheriff Craig Webre, on behalf of the Louisiana Sheriffs Association, awards a $1,000 annual scholarship to provide assistance to worthy students in furthering their education and training with resources made available through the program. Each applicant must meet the following qualifications:
- graduating high school student
- permanent resident of Lafourche Parish
- planning to attend (and eligible for admission to) a local college, including Nicholls State University and L.E. Fletcher Technical Community College
The award will only be paid for attendance at one of the aforementioned qualifying institutions as a full-time, undergraduate student. There are no restrictions on applicants by reason of race, creed, color, age or national origin, and family members of Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office employees are also eligible to apply.
The scholarship is awarded as a gift, not a loan, and there are no restrictions on the purposes for which the scholarship is spent.
