LSU Austin Scholarships

The Austin Chapter of the LSU Alumni Association offers two chapter scholarships to "the greater Austin area" students that are one-time awards of $1,000 per year ($500 per semester). One is for ENTERING FRESHMEN and the other is for RETURNING STUDENTS. Through our annual fundraiser, started way back in 1991, we have managed to raise over $80,000 for our scholarships! It couldn't happen without the hard work and support of everyone involved! THANK YOU!

  • GPA 3.0 - 4.0 and ACT = 20 or SAT = 950
