The journey of The Petey's Scholarship began in 2024, founded on a shared vision with my dear friends, Elisha Coats and Meagan Marsalis Stephenson. Our collective belief was simple: to make a tangible difference in the lives of dedicated individual within our state of Louisiana.

We understand that true grit and tireless effort don't always align with academic or financial ease. That's why The Petey's Scholarship is dedicated to supporting those who work the hardest, but may face academic or financial struggles on their path to success.

Thanks to the incredible generosity and support of our community, our inaugural year was a resounding success. Through the sales of our exclusive Elite merchandise, the vibrant energy (and delicious food!) of our Ultimate Tailgate jambalaya tickets, and the excitement of our first annual raffle, we proudly raised $3500 to award our very first scholarship recipient.

This initiative is a testament to what we can achieve when we come together. We invite you to join us in continuing this meaningful mission. Whether you are an eligible student invited to apply for this year's scholarship, or you wish to contribute and help us grow our impact, your support is invaluable.

Together, we can continue to uplift and empower those who embody the spirit of perseverance.
