Northwestern State University’s culinary arts program received a donation from the Jefferson Highway Association in thanks for providing food and service for the group’s convention opening reception. The donation, with an additional $1,500 earned by providing box lunches to 4-H Club members, will support the Leah Chase Endowed Scholarship for a student in NSU’s Hospitality, Management and Tourism program.
