This is a question for one of my friends…



His GF is from Mississippi and she plans on coming to LSU she has a 28 on the ACT and a GPA over a 4.0 as a Junior right now in high school (he is also in high school) she can easily make a 30 or above on the ACT by the time she graduates. she also participates in a lot of clubs and organizations for service hours and leadership councils... so besides scholarships and financial aid are there any other grants or programs that she could possibly gain more money from? any answer will help!

She has already researched this and doesn't need his or your help b/c she's had the financial aid lined up for awhile by now.

LSU will 99.99 % waive her out of state tuition with those stats. Not sure if they'll give her any other money though. Tell her to apply/call

Each member on the LSU Board of Supervisors has a certain amount of full-tuition scholarships they can "give away" too. The recipient can't be rewarded both TOPS & this scholarship so that's something to take a look at too

Academic Common Core (SREB) will waive out of state tuition for certain majors at LSU (Petroleum Engineering, Biochemistry, etc). It just depends on what state

LSU System

SREB

I graduated in 2010 and you needed at least a 32 for the chancellor's top 100 scholarship. They completely redid the scholarship system the next year though

Look into the Academic Common Market. I was a Tennessee resident and was able to get in-state tuition at LSU because I was in Landscape Architecture, which they don't have at any Tennessee universities.
