LSUE offers a variety of scholarships funded by private donors, by businesses, and by organizations. Some donors have established endowments to provide a permanent source of funding. Other scholarships are contributed by donors on an annual basis.

Persons interested in LSUE scholarships should apply by February 1 for scholarships that will begin the following fall semester. Applicants who apply after that date will be considered for any vacancies in scholarships that occur after scholarships have been awarded.

To apply, complete an LSUE Scholarship Application (download an application). After reviewing the applications, the LSUE Scholarship Committee awards the scholarships based on merit.

Scholarships do not require service and are given only to full-time students (with the exception of students in the nursing and other allied health programs). When an appointment is made for one year, it is usually for two consecutive semesters, beginning with the academic session in the fall. Recipients must earn at least a 2.5 grade-point average to continue a scholarship from the fall to the spring semester and a 2.75 grade-point average to continue a scholarship for the next year. Typically, high school students applying for scholarships should have a minimum 2.75 GPA in "core" academic subjects and an ACT composite score of 20 or above.

Scholarships provided by outside agencies are administered according to the rules and regulations prescribed by the donors, as accepted by the LSU Board of Supervisors.

A student automatically forfeits his or her award under the following conditions: failure to maintain the required scholastic average for any given scholarship or award; failure to claim the award for any semester; resignation during a semester; or being dropped from the rolls of the University.

LSUE students who are not currently recipients of scholarships and have accumulated a 2.5 or better GPA are encouraged to apply for any vacancies that may exist among the several scholarships. LSUE students applying for scholarships must complete the LSUE Scholarship Application.

Applications are available in the Office of Student Affairs, Room 112 of the Acadian Center, phone 1-888-FOR-LSUE, ext. 218, or locally 550-1218. You can also download and print out an LSUE Scholarship Application.
