Sheriff Wayne L. Jones Announces Scholarship Winners
According to Sheriff Wayne L. Jones, "This
Scholarship Program is a meaningful expression of
the Program's respect for education. It demonstrates
our confidence in Louisiana's youth...our future
leaders."
Scholarships of a maximum of $500.00 each will be
awarded to graduating high school students from each
parish where the Sheriff has participated in the
Honorary Membership Program.
There are no restrictions on the purposes for which
scholarship funds are spent. The scholarships are
not loans and will be awarded as gifts to defray the
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 to the
Sheriff of the parish of the applicant's permanent
Louisiana residence by April first. Further,
applicants must be eligible for admission to the
school indicated on the application. The award will
only be paid for attendance at institutions of
higher learning within the State. All scholarship
winners will be announced by May first of each year.
Sheriff Jones concluded by indicating that,
"Louisiana Sheriffs are pleased with the Program's
ability to bring scholarships to Louisiana students
bound for higher education. To continue to do so,
and fund other important projects, continued support
of our Honorary Membership Program is essential.
