Local law firm expands annual scholarship to honor two exceptional Louisiana students for their dedication, resilience, and academic promise.
The 2025 Blaine Barrilleaux Scholarship recipients, Jorden Hawk and Emma Savoie
The Law Offices of Blaine Barrilleaux is proud to announce the winners of its 2025 Blaine Barrilleaux Scholarship, a $1,000 award designed to support the academic journeys of Louisiana students who have demonstrated resilience, leadership, and a commitment to bettering their communities.
This year's scholarship was awarded to Jorden Hawk of Thibodaux, a first-generation college student at Nicholls State University, and Emma Savoie, a recent graduate of St. Thomas More Catholic High School in Lafayette. The firm was so impressed by the strength and sincerity of this year's submissions that they made the rare decision to award the scholarship to two deserving recipients instead of one.
For Jorden Hawk, pursuing higher education has been both a personal and professional goal.
"I'll be the first in my family to pursue law," said Hawk.
After becoming a mother during high school and overcoming self-doubt, Jorden now studies Business Administration with a pre-law minor. She plans to use the scholarship to cover summer tuition for Commercial Law, Constitutional Law, and English courses, all key classes that will keep her on track for her dream of becoming a family law attorney.
"This scholarship isn't just financial support, it's confirmation that I'm on the right path. I want to give back through pro bono family law work and help others navigate difficult moments with dignity."
Emma Savoie, who plans to attend Louisiana State University (LSU) to study early childhood education, shared how her close-knit family and faith-based community have shaped her passion for working with young children.
"I come from a big family, and every bit of help matters," said Savoie.
"Receiving this scholarship means I can focus on school, contribute at home, and step closer to making a difference in children's lives."
Emma's drive to uplift others, whether through babysitting, coaching, or possibly one day pursuing law or nursing, shines through in every aspect of her life.
