14th Anulet P. Jackson Memorial Scholarship Recipients 

Lastly, the Anulet P. Jackson scholarship recipients were announced by Pamela Madzima, former FSC/LAF Staff.

Pat Jackson was both a dedicated member and also served as Federation staff.

In 2008, Kay Doherty named a scholarship in Pat’s honor to be awarded to entering college freshman whose families are members of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/LAF; and who exhibit the same spirit of service and excellence that Pat Jackson did.

This memorial scholarship is available to students whose families are members of the Federation and who have been accepted into college for the 2022 Fall Semester.
