Scholarship Program

Wed, 11/13/2013 - 10:58

The Bayou Chapter of CPCU has been able to set up a Scholarship program with both LSU and Southern. We will provide a $500 per semester scholarship at each school that will be awarded preferably to a single student who has atleast a 3.0 gpa and who has scheduled or completed an insurance/risk management related course or has interned with an insurance company. The schools will notify us of the recipient once it has been awarded. We plan to continue with this program for upcoming years.
