Purpose
The Bogalusa Scholarship Fund was created in 1999 to exist as a permanent scholarship fund through the generosity of the people who live in Washington Parish. The scholarship is overseen by the Northshore Community Foundation in order to take advantage of the foundation’s management expertise. According to the original articles of incorporation that continue to guide the Fund, income generated by the Fund is to provide cash scholarships to assist selected graduating/graduated high school students who will enroll in a college or university. The scholarship award is to be used toward the following, in order of priority: tuition and fees; room and board; books and supplies; and commuting expenses.
