Sheriff Eddie Langlinais announces Louisiana Sheriff’s Association Scholarship winner for Vermilion

Vermilion Parish Sheriff Eddie Langlinais is happy to announce that Vermilion Parish native Grace Hebert has been named the recipient of an academic scholarship from the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Scholarship Program for the 2025-2026 school year.
Grace is a student at Erath High School and plans to attend the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and pursue nursing. Grace is the daughter of Amanda Hebert and the late David Hebert.
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.
In closing, Sheriff Langlinais said, “The Louisiana Sheriff’s Scholarship Program is more than a monetary award. It is an investment in the future of our communities. By recognizing the hard work, talent, and dedication of our students, we are helping open doors to opportunity and allowing them to focus on their education and goals. This program not only supports academic achievement but also helps shape the next generation of leaders who will make a meaningful difference in Vermilion Parish and beyond.”
