Applicants must be a St. Martin Parish resident or student in a private or public school in St. Martin Parish and may be recommended by any currently employed teacher of a public or private secondary school system in St. Martin Parish, a St. Martin Land Company Board member or a St. Martin Bank designee. Criteria for selection will include the scholarship application, character, community service, leadership and the significance of the proposed education in achieving the applicant’s goal.
Applications may be found through the guidance counselor at your local school, by contacting Sandra Martin at St. Martin Land Company at (337) 228-7501 or online at www.stmartinland.com and www.cfacadiana.org/stmartinlandco.
