Current Student Scholarships

Students that did not receive a scholarship upon entering LSSU may compete for one of these scholarships. Scholarship “sign up” periods are held each year for available scholarships. Students can sign up for open scholarships in the Financial Aid Office or in the department making the selection.

All recipients in this section are selected by the Financial Aid Committee (unless otherwise stated) and may choose any degree curriculum offered by the University (unless otherwise stated).

All current student scholarships require a minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA and 26 earned LSSU credits (unless otherwise stated). Students who are selected must be making normal satisfactory progress toward a degree and should not exceed 124 earned credits, except for fifth-year teaching internships.

Scholarships selected by academic departments can usually be combined with other LSSU scholarships, provided the total award does not exceed the cost of tuition and fees. Academic department scholarships are typically awarded in the spring semester for the following academic year.

All renewable scholarships are based on the recipient meeting the University’s scholarship renewal criteria

Hands-on Training...

Brian Applegate
Fire Science

LSSU's dedicated three-story fire lab made all the difference to Brian Applegate.

"Our certification training classes offered real situations," Brian says. Students practice victim search techniques while controlling and extinguishing fires. Applegate says his favorite exercise was the live fire flashover simulation. "We saw how fires evolved as they burned," he says. "It’s as close as you can get to the real thing."
