Since 2004, the Southeastern Louisiana Home Builders Association has proudly supported local students in their pursuit of higher education through its Student Scholarship Program with two scholarship opportunities (Member Scholarship & Louis Daigle Trade Scholarship). Funded through the generosity of members and the success of annual fundraising events—including the Golf & Crawfish Scramble and the Family Bowling Tournament—SLHBA has awarded over $16,950 in scholarships to deserving high school and college students.

This year, we were proud to award three member scholarships at our June 17 Board of Directors meeting, continuing our commitment to investing in the future of our community and the next generation of leaders. Congratulations to all of you!

Amber Buquet, daughter of SLHBA members Travis and Shannon Buquet, is a 2025 graduate of E.D. White Catholic High School. Amber plans to attend the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where she will major in Kinesiology with a concentration in Pre-Occupational Therapy.

Throughout high school, Amber demonstrated strong leadership and dedication, serving as Captain of the Cheerleading Team and Vice President of the Senior Class. She was also a member of the National Honor Society, a member of Student Council and also participated in competitive cheerleading.

During her off time, Amber enjoys coaching youth cheer teams, hunting, fishing, and spending time with her family. We are proud to support Amber as she takes the next step in her academic and professional journey!
