Sheriff Steven McCain has announced that the Louisiana Sheriff’s Scholarship Program is now underway, with applications currently being accepted for graduating high school seniors across Grant Parish.

The scholarship program provides financial assistance to local students pursuing higher education and is part of a statewide effort supported by Louisiana sheriffs to invest in the future of parish youth.

Applications are available online through the Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office website at www.grantso.org/lsascholarship, or they may be picked up in person from Rona Barnes at the Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office, located at 205 Cypress Street in Colfax.
Scholarship recipients will be selected by a committee of retired school principals, ensuring a fair and education-focused review process.

Completed applications must be returned to Rona Barnes at the Sheriff’s Office no later than April 1, 2026.

Students and families are encouraged to apply early and take advantage of this opportunity to support continued education after high school.
