Rotary Club of Abbeville announces 2023 Chester Broussard Memorial Scholarship Recipient

The Rotary Club of Abbeville is proud to announce Bailee Broussard as the recipient of the 2023 Chester Broussard Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship, which honors the memory of Mr. Chester Broussard, an esteemed educator in Vermilion Parish and a former Abbeville Rotarian, recognizes outstanding students in need of financial assistance.
Bailee Broussard, a Kaplan resident and a student at South Louisiana Community College (SLCC) in Lafayette, has been selected for this prestigious award. The scholarship was presented on September 18, 2023, at a scholarship reception sponsored by SLCC, where several scholarships were awarded to deserving students pursuing vocational studies.
Bailee is a sophomore in the General Studies Program with a concentration in science, boasting an impressive GPA of 3.613.
Her dedication to her studies is matched only by her commitment to extracurricular activities, including Brazilian Jujitsu, participation in Life Teen at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, and involvement in a girl group from Our Lady of Wisdom at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette Campus (ULL).
After her scheduled graduation in December 2023, she plans to transfer to ULL to complete her degree in Kinesiology and subsequently attend a Chiropractic School.
"The Rotary Club of Abbeville takes great pride and pleasure in sponsoring the Chester Broussard Memorial Scholarship," says Karl Weill (Bubba), the Rotary Club of Abbeville's Scholarship Chairman. "We sincerely thank SLCC for their kind assistance in making this scholarship possible."
