2025 AFTA Scholarships

We celebrate and reward the builders, advocates, and holders of the arts culture in Assumption Parish. This scholarship will champion students who have made a lasting impact and will be remembered for their talent, integrity, generosity, and celebration of the arts with peers, their club or programs, their schools, and their communities. This stipend is $1,000.00 and is not limited to one recipient.

 We celebrate and reward the students who want to make the arts a part of their future professional and/or personal lives for years to come. This scholarship will champion those who have committed to continuing the study and practice of the arts after high school. Keeping the arts alive is essential and we can’t wait to see these students shine. This stipend is $1,000.00. 

Jackie Blanchard was a member of the arts programs in Assumption Parish Schools and was a wonderful member of the Pride of Sugarland Colorguard and Auxillary. She loved performing and was a bright light on the field and among her friends and family. Jackie had her vibrant life tragically taken from her in June of 1998 at the age of 31. In her honor, her son Jordan Pujol and his family have established this memorial scholarship with the help of AFTA. We couldn’t be more proud to be a part of Jackie’s memory and to aid Jordan in keeping his mother’s legacy alive.

This scholarship will have a preference to students participating in the Pride of Sugarland Colorguard, Auxillary, and Band. Jordan’s family will contribute to this scholarship fund each year and AFTA will accept donations on the family's behalf to add to that value. AFTA’s Board of Directors will provide recommendations to Jordan and his family, who will make the final decision on number of scholarships and amounts each year.
