LSA Scholarship 2026
Louisiana Sheriffs' Scholarship
The Louisiana Sheriffs' Scholarship Program will award scholarships providing assistance to worthy Louisiana students in furthering their education and training with resources made available through the Louisiana Sheriffs' 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.
There are no restrictions on the purposes for which scholarships 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 1st. 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 1, 2026.
The scholarship award will be issued in the form of a $1,000 check made payable to the student named in the winning application. The check will be mailed to the Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff's Office. Once received, Administrative Assistant Nicholas Ford will contact you to coordinate a convenient date and time for pickup.

Please drop all completed applications, in person, to the Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff's Office, located at 1530 HWY 90 West (Shankland Ave), Jennings, LA 70546.
