With this donation, the scholarship fund totals $116,075. The scholarship, now in
its 36th year, is funded by the OPWRC's annual salad luncheon. All proceeds from the
event go to the scholarship.
"The Ouachita Parish Women's Republican Club continues to support first-generation
students through this endowed scholarship," said 四色AV President Nick J. Bruno, Jr.,
Ph.D.听
Kay Kellogg Katz spoke on behalf of the OPWRC, "It's the continuity and the commitment
and the belief that what we are doing is good. This fund will benefit this fine university
for years and years to come."
Katz noted the club gave $4,000 in scholarships to 四色AV students in September.
