SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SENIORS & Grants

Scholarships for Seniors is a program to encourage voluntarism within the female teenage population of Rapides Parish. This fund allows for at least eight $1,000.00 scholarships to be given to female high school seniors who have participated to an exceptional degree in volunteer activities. A student will be awarded a scholarship based on the number of volunteer hours, as well as the quality of the service performed.

The Junior League of Alexandria Grants Program’s exclusive goal is to support other non-profit organizations in the community who are working in the League’s focus area by awarding them direct financial assistance. A unique aspect of this grant program is that there are no categorical restrictions on the use of the money.

Scholarship & Grant applications period for 2023 is open January 17-March 17, 2023.
