Gulf Coast Bank and the Patout Family have established a scholarship endowment at South Louisiana Community College in memory of Charles A. Patout, founder of the community bank.
This investment is part of the bank s celebration of 50 years in business this year.
The formal announcement was made today at SLCC on Bertrand Drive in Lafayette. We chose to create the Charles A. Patout Endowed Scholarship because SLCC offers education that is accessible. The variety of programs and the number of SLCC campuses is great and we re excited to be a support of all that the college does, said Pat Patout, chair of the board. Education is the key to a better life and we want this for everyone.
