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.
