This past spring, Southeastern Louisiana University received a new scholarship from John Carr, who established the Jackie Carr Scholarship in Nursing at the Southeastern Foundation as a tribute to his wife.
The scholarship is for students accepted into the university’s School of Nursing.
Southeastern awarded the scholarship to Jaclyn Pichon-Ciavarella, a junior nursing student from Loranger.
After graduation, Pichon-Ciavarella plans to work as an emergency department nurse while she continues her education at the graduate level.
