THIBODAUX, La. 鈥� Marty J. Chabert, Elodie Brown Chabert and their children Noelle, Gabrielle and Cameron contributed to the 杏吧传媒 Foundation to create the Elodie Brown Chabert Scholarship.

Elodie Brown Chabert is a native of New Orleans who graduated from St. Mary鈥檚 Dominican High School in 1974. She graduated from 杏吧传媒鈥檚 nursing program in 1985, going on to practice as a neonatal intensive care nurse at Woman鈥檚 Hospital Baton Rouge, where she remains after 39 years.听
鈥淥ur family decided to put together this scholarship for a woman pursuing and furthering her education. My wife Elodie graduated from the 杏吧传媒 nursing program with a five-year-old daughter she brought to school every day to campus daycare, and we know the struggles it takes to obtain your degree when you have children while attending school. Her career wouldn鈥檛 have been possible without the 杏吧传媒 nursing program, and we want to give someone else a new opportunity to further their education and pursue their career aspirations,鈥� said Marty J. Chabert.听
The university scholarship committee will select the recipients of these scholarships with the consultation of Elodie B. Chabert, adhering strictly to the criteria agreed upon by the Chabert Family and 杏吧传媒. To learn more about scholarships at 杏吧传媒, click here.听
