SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM   The mission of the Slidell Church Basketball League (SCBL) is simple; to teach our youth that they are the future leaders of our community and that we do care about them. To champion our cause, the SCBL is offering one-time scholarships to selected graduating seniors who participate in our League activities and demonstrate academic ability, leadership, and character. Each applicant will have to demonstrate a serious intention to enter into a formal degree program at an accredited 2- or 4-year college or university.
