SHERIFF CHARLES R GUILLORY AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP TO COLLEGE BOUND MAMOU TEEN

SHERIFF CHARLES R. GUILLORY ANNOUNCED THAT JAIDAN RICHARD OF EVANGELINE PARISH HAS BEEN NAMED THE RECIPIENT OF AN ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP FROM THE LOUISIANA SHERIFFS' SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR. SHE RESIDES IN MAMOU, LA, AND PLANS TO ATTEND GRAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY AND PURSUE PSYCHOLOGY AS A FIELD OF STUDY. HER PARENTS ARE GREGORY AND MONSEETA RICHARD. 

THE SHERIFFS' SCHOLARSHIP IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE LOUISIANA SHERIFFS' HONORARY MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM (LSHMP). LOUISIANA SHERIFFS PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS TO GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM EACH PARISH WHERE THE SHERIFF IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE PROGRAM.

QUALITIES  SUCH AS ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, LEADERSHIP, AND CHARACTER ARE CONSIDERED IN MAKING SELECTIONS OF SHERIFFS' SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS. THE ONLY LIMITATIONS ARE THAT APPLICANTS MUST BE PERMANENT RESIDENTS OF LOUISIANA, SCHOLARSHIPS MUST BE UTILIZED IN HIGHER EDUCATION WITHIN THE STATE, AND STUDENTS MUST BE ENROLLED AS FULL-TIME, UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. SCHOLARSHIPS WILL BE AWARDED IN SIXTY-FOUR PARISHES THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

IN CLOSING, SHERIFF CHARLES R. GUILLORY SAID, "ACADEMIC AWARDS BY THE LOUISIANA SHERIFFS' SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM TO LOUISIANA STUDENTS DEMONSTRATE WHAT THE LSHMP IS ALL ABOUT. THIS IS ONE OF OUR FINEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS. IT INVESTS IN LOUISIANA'S FUTURE AND GIVES SOMETHING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY. THIS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE KIND AND GENEROUS SUPPORT OF EVANGELINE PARISH'S HONORARY MEMBERS."
