The Louisiana Bankers Education Council awarded its annual college scholarships to Natchitoches area student Sayla Baker, thanks to the generous support of LBA members. Each fall, LBEC offers cash scholarships to incoming freshmen who have at least one parent employed with a bank or if the student is employed with a bank in Louisiana. The students must enroll in an accredited Louisiana college or university with a declared major in a banking related field.
