NATCHITOCHES – Jacob Mullican of DeRidder, a junior history major at Northwestern State University, has been named as a recipient of a 2025-2026 Police Jury Association of Louisiana Scholarship.
The scholarship is awarded annually to upper division undergraduates at universities throughout the state. NSU’s history faculty recommended Mullican for the scholarship.
“I believe the scholarship would be beneficial to me in helping pay college expenses,” said Mullican. “My parents lost their home in Hurricane Laura, so I have been working to pay my for college as well as my living expenses.”
Mullican receives an ROTC Scholarship. He is a member of the Baptist Collegiate Ministry, Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, and Blue Key Honor. Mullican is vice president of the Black Knights Registered Student Organization and the Company Commander of the Demon Battalion ROTC.
The Police Jury Association of Louisiana was created in 1924 to improve parish government in the State of Louisiana. Membership is open to each of the 64 parishes in the State of Louisiana, whether organized as a police jury, parish council or parish commission.
Northwestern Professor of History Dr. Greg Granger thanked the Police Jury Association of Louisiana for their support of Northwestern and its students.
