Erath's Bradford wins Louisiana Sheriff’s Scholarship

Upon the recommendation of the Vermilion Parish School Board, Vermilion Parish Sheriff Eddie Langlinais announces scholarship recipient of the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Honorary Membership Program
Sheriff Langlinais is happy to announce Andrew Bradford of Erath High has been named the recipient of an academic scholarship from the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Scholarship Program for the 2024-2025 school year.
Andrew resides in Erath and plans to attend UL Lafayette and pursue mechanical engineering as a field of study. His parents are Nicholas Bradford and Ashlee Girard.
The Sheriffs’ Scholarship is made possible by the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Honorary Membership Program (LSHMP). Louisiana Sheriffs provide scholarships to graduating high school students from each parish where the Sheriff is an affiliate of the Program.
Qualities such as academic achievement, leadership, and character are considered in making selections of Sheriffs’ scholarship recipients. The only limitations are that applicants be permanent residents of Louisiana; scholarships be utilized in higher education within the State; and students be enrolled as full-time, undergraduate students. Scholarships will be awarded in sixty-four parishes throughout the state.
Ahna Fontenot and Kallie Romero, both form Kaplan High, were named as alternates so that in the event the recipient is unable to take advantage of the scholarship award, the alternate (first and/or second) can do so.
In closing Sheriff Langlinais said, “Academic awards by the Louisiana Sheriff’s Scholarship Program to Louisiana students open doors to endless opportunities and empower students to reach their full potential. It’s more than financial support, it’s an investment in the bright minds of tomorrow, fostering their dreams and enabling them to focus on their education
