Who is eligible to apply to attend the LSUE Academy?
Students in 10th grade from St. Landry, Acadia, Evangeline, or Jeff Davis Parish declaring
a major of nursing, medical, science, or any allied health related degree who are
in good academic standing may apply to the academy in the Spring semester of the current
school year to begin classes the Fall semester of the subsequent year.
Students who do not meet the above requirements may still apply to take courses at LSUE as part of the Early College Initiative but are not eligible to receive a Pell grant.
Which degree programs can LSUE Academy students pursue?
What if I did not take the ACT (or PreACT) test or my scores in both subject areas
do not meet the minimum requirements?
You may contact the Director of the Academy at 337-457-6130 to schedule a time and
date to take a placement test at LSUE.
How do I know whether or not I was accepted into the academy?
Students who apply will receive a letter in the mail by May 15th stating whether
or not they are accepted into the academy. The letter of acceptance from the Admissions
Office will contain your myLSUE ID number and Password. Log onto myLSUE and set up
your email so you may receive further information from the school and Academy Director.
You will also receive a permission form that must be signed and emailed to the Academy
Director by May 31st.
How do I schedule my classes for the Fall semester if I am accepted?
The academy director (your advisor) and counselor will meet to schedule your classes
for the Fall semester. You will receive an email through your myLSUE account containing
a Course Registration Form that will list your Fall courses. You must sign and email
the form back to the Academy Director before June 15th. Your classes will then be
scheduled.
How do I apply for financial aid and what is the FAFSA?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the application for all federal
and state aid programs. You will need to indicate Louisiana State University Eunice
(school code #002012) in the school release section of the application so that we
may receive your file. You and your parents will need to complete the application.
Where do I find the FAFSA and when should I complete it?
The FAFSA should be submitted on-line at www.fafsa.gov . This application should
be completed by the last day that applications are being accepted for academy enrollment.
If you do not have an answer regarding your Pell eligibility by the due date for tuition
payment, you will be responsible for tuition payment until you receive an answer from
financial aid. Your courses will be dropped for the Fall semester if you do not apply
your Pell grant, pay tuition, or sign up for the tuition payment plan before the last
day to pay Fall tuition.
What financial aid am I actually applying for?
Since you are still in high school, your acceptance into the LSUE academy allows
you to apply only for Federal Pell Grants.
Is there a deadline for applying for financial aid?
This application should be completed by the last day that applications are being
accepted for academy enrollment; otherwise, you may be responsible for payment of
your fees. You also need to check your email for updates from the Financial Aid Office
regarding other documents necessary to complete your Pell Grant Application.
Do I need to apply for financial aid each year?
Yes. Each year you must file the FAFSA for the appropriate award year. You must also
maintain Standards of Academic Progress (SAP) in order to qualify for aid each year.
If I drop a class will it affect my financial aid?
Any change in enrollment status may potentially affect the amount of aid a student
is eligible to receive depending on the time frame in which the change is made. Dropping
a class or failing a class may affect your ability to receive financial aid in the
future.
