Entering Freshman Scholarships 

The College of Science freshman scholarships are determined by a committee appointed by the dean of the college. Consistent with the LSU Student Aid Office, students who meet the university priority deadline will be considered for scholarships. The college uses the information provided by the student on their LSU admission application to determine scholarship eligibility.
