Scholarships

The University awards scholarships to students of high scholastic and creative ability. While the vast majority of these scholarships are underwritten by the University, other scholarships are sponsored by donors and alumni through the UL Lafayette Foundation.

In the Fall 2009 semester, the University awarded over $1.7 million in scholarships to first-time freshmen, with nearly forty percent of first-time freshmen, 1000 of 2500 students, receiving scholarship offers. Over two-thirds of those offers are automatically renewed for four years if a student maintains the academic requirements of the scholarship. Complete information regarding all scholarship awards is available through the Scholarship Office at (337) 482-6515 or at www.scholar@louisiana.edu.

Army ROTC Scholarship Program

In addition to the above-mentioned scholarship programs, the United States Army awards scholarships to outstanding men and women through its Army ROTC Scholarship Program. Each scholarship provides for all tuition and fee charges, as well as a book allowance and a monthly subsistence allowance. Recipients of ROTC scholarships incur an active duty obligation after graduation.
