Each year, Bayou Industrial Group awards scholarships to graduating high school seniors in the Bayou Region for enrollment at Nicholls State University and Fletcher Technical Community College. The BIG Scholarship Fund is supported by contributions from members with annual dues, the BIG Seafood Social for Scholarships, and other scholarship fundraising activities that may be held throughout the year.
In 2021, BIG awarded $24,000 in scholarships to 9 local students. Thank you for your support of the BIG Scholarship Fund and congratulations to these students!
