On Friday, May 16th, Travis Torrence who represented the Chamber, was proud to award three scholarships to high school seniors at West Feliciana High School. These students were selected among many applications received by the chamber. The selections were based on academic achievement, community involvement in our parish and the students individual expression of why they should receive such an award and how it will benefit their education.
The recipients of these awards are Mary Brandon Grant, Carolyn Shealy Mangham, and Kathryn Frances Young. Our congratulations go to these outstanding students. These students will be honored by the Chamber at a reception on May 29th.
