BATON ROUGE, LA (August 10, 2022) — Pelican State Credit Union is excited to announce that Holy Savior Menard Central High School’s 2022 graduate, Lianne Kho, is a $1,000 scholarship winner of Pelican’s 2022 Team Pelican Scholarship Program.
The Team Pelican Scholarship Program is an exclusive benefit to the credit union’s Team Pelican youth savings account members! Finalists are selected by parish and on the basis of their academic achievements, heart for service displayed in their community, and the inspirational goals they’ve set for themselves. Pelican State CU awarded $14,000 in college scholarships in 2022 to graduating high school seniors.
While at Holy Savior Menard Central High School, Kho was member of the National Beta Club, National Honor Society, International Culture Club, and International Key Club.
