BeauCARE, Inc. is proud to present the Marietta Jenkins Scholarship. The scholarship is named after Ms. Marietta Jenkins - a retired educator in our community who has been a guiding force in improving young minds for generations. Ms. Jenkins has also been an integral part of our agency since its beginning in 1991. We are very honored to be able to name this scholarship fund after an individual who has dedicated her life to educating and enhancing the lives of our youth. Two outgoing Beauregard Parish seniors will be awarded the one-time $500 scholarship each year in the hopes of continuing the education of our young people.
The winner of the first Marietta Jenkins scholarship is DeRidder High School's Whitney Lynn - Class of 2013! Congratulations to a fine young person who not only excels academically but strives to give back to the community!
In 2014, two scholarships were awarded to outstanding Beauregard Parish students - Austin Stultz from South Beauregard High School & Jacqueline Rushford from DeRidder High School.
In 2015, Bethany Roberts from DeRidder High School & Miah Lognion of East Beauregard High School were awarded the MJ Scholarship.
