Torianna Anthony, daughter of Michelle Bourda and Brandon Anthony Sr. of St. Martinville, has been selected as a finalist in the pre-teen Louisiana Scholarship and Recognition program to be held June 30 and July 1 at the Lafayette Hilton in Lafayette.

Pre-teen Louisiana is a by-invitation only scholarship and recognition event involving girls 7 to 12 years of age based on their school academic records, awards and honors won and their participation in outside activities. Additionally, young girls are invited to compete for the title who have been recognized publicly for their outstanding personal achievements, volunteer services, school involvement, leadership abilities or creative talents.

Pre-Teen Louisiana will award more than $5000 in educational bonds, prizes and awards.
