External Scholarships
To supplement federal aid and awards provided by LSU, students are encouraged to apply for scholarships offered by external organizations, which can be used toward their total cost of attendance. The tabs below contain external scholarship award opportunities as well as a list of trusted scholarship databases and resources. Students should apply for as many scholarships as possible, but should not have to pay to use search tools or apply for awards.
If you are awarded a scholarship from an entity outside of the LSU system, please ensure checks are made payable to Louisiana State University and mailed to:
LSU Bursar Operations
Attn: Jasmine Hebert
125 Thomas Boyd Hall
Baton Rouge, LA 70803
Please ensure the student's name and UID number are provided with the check. If the check is made payable to LSU and the student, please endorse the check.
