Bowling for scholarships

Dr. Rebecca Pennington (center), assistant vice president for development and university relations at Nicholls State University, accepts the initial check establishing the Blaine Faslund Memorial Scholarship Fund. The $600 donation was presented by JoAnn Faslund (left) and Beverly Salassi, members of the Lafourche Parish United States Bowling Congress, on Dec. 3. The purpose of the annual scholarship is to provide financial assistance to a deserving full-time student enrolled at Nicholls. The recipient, who will receive $300 for the fall and spring semesters – or $600 total – must be a sanctioned bowler or family member of a sanctioned bowler and maintain a 2.5 grade point average.
