WAGGAMAN, La., Oct. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cornerstone Chemical Company, a New Orleans area based chemical manufacturing company, awarded scholarships to ten students seeking bachelor's degrees in STEM-related fields. Each student received $1,000 in scholarship funds. Cornerstone also honored five high school students who attended the Louisiana Youth Seminar (LYS) this summer at Louisiana State University.

Dr. James Gray, superintendent of Jefferson Parish Public Schools, said, "I'm excited about the Cornerstone's scholarship programs. Cornerstone's commitment to investing in our children, our youngest citizens, helps move our district forward and advance our community as a whole."

During the 2022-2023 school year, Cornerstone Chemical awarded $13,250 to local students planning to pursue bachelor’s degrees in STEM-related fields.
