Scholarships & Professional Opportunities
The Lutrill & Pearl Payne School of Education offers a wide range of scholarships to support future teachers at every stage of their education. Each year, scholarship support helps undergraduate and graduate students pursue their academic and professional goals.
Scholarships are awarded based on factors like academic achievement, financial need, and donor criteria. LSU uses the Blackbaud Award Management (BAM) system to help you find and apply for scholarships across the university and within the School of Education. Explore Scholarships in BAM
Scholarships
When you apply to LSU and select a School of Education major, your information is automatically considered for many scholarships. The priority deadline for undergraduate scholarship consideration is December 15.
Continuing students must apply each year through BAM to be considered for university and college scholarships. Some scholarships require an additional application specific to your senior college or to an individual opportunity.
Additional scholarships for future teachers, including opportunities outside of LSU, are also available.
Have questions? The LSU Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships can help guide you through the process.
