Students can apply for the Louisiana Sheriff’s Scholarship Program and Sheriff Bobby Webre’s Dawn Shivers Memorial Scholarship.
Webre’s office is accepting applications for the Louisiana Sheriff’s Scholarship Program, which provides assistance to Louisiana students in furthering their education and training with resources made available through the Louisiana Sheriff’s Honorary Membership Program.
Scholarships of a maximum of $1,000 each will be awarded to graduating high school students from each parish where the sheriff is an affiliate of the Honorary Membership Program.
Students may also apply for the Dawn Shivers Memorial Scholarship of up to $1,500. This scholarship was established in honor of Shivers, a retired employee of the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office. Shivers died in 2013 from cancer.
The scholarships are not loans and will be awarded as gifts to defray rising costs of tuition and related expenses in higher education. The only limitations are that applicants be permanent residents of Louisiana; scholarships be utilized in higher education within the state of Louisiana; and students be enrolled as full-time undergraduate students.
Completed applications must be submitted by April 1 and winners will be announced in May.
Applications have been provided to all high school counselors in Ascension Parish and are available online at ascensionsheriff.com/news-events or can be picked up at the sheriff’s business offices in Donaldsonville and Gonzales.
