HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University has received a newly endowed scholarship
from the Hammond-Ponchatoula Sunrisers Rotary Club. A $30,000 commitment, the endowed
scholarship will provide a minimum $1,000 annual award to a deserving Southeastern
student who is a resident of Hammond or Ponchatoula and is involved in community service.
“This is an exciting day for the Hammond-Ponchatoula Sunrisers Rotary Club. Over
six years ago our club made a commitment to Southeastern to underwrite an endowed
scholarship that will benefit a deserving student from our community each year,” said
Rotary President Deek DeBlieux. “That commitment has been fully-funded, and we are
excited to be a partner with Southeastern. I want to thank all of our members and
past presidents for their commitment and leadership in making this gift a reality.”
