4 SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ST. BERNARD STUDENTS AWARDED

The St. Bernard Chapter of the Louisiana Volunteers for Family and Community, an organization under the auspices of the LSU Agriculture Center, has awarded four scholarships of $1500.00 each for the 2025-2026 school year to residents of St. Bernard Parish. The funds for these scholarships were raised by the 2024 Luncheon / Fashion Show and pirogue raffle. The recipients are Tyrielle Darensburg and Izador Meyer from Chalmette High School and  Addisyn Gagnard and Olivia Pohlmann from Mount Carmel Academy.

Since SBVFC is an organization that seeks to promote volunteering in order “to strengthen individuals, families, and communities through education, leadership, and action,” the criteria for this scholarship highly emphasize the student’s volunteer activities. We thank these high school seniors for their efforts and hope that they will continue to serve their community in the future.  Each student will receive their funds to study at a Louisiana College or University or an accredited Community College for the 2025-2026 school year.
