What scholarship opportunities are available?

At the College of Business, we understand that the cost of tuition, room and board, and supplies can add up. We believe that students should be able to have the education and college experience they always dreamed of. Thanks to the generous support of alumni, friends, and corporate partners, the College of Business at Louisiana Tech University is able to facilitate that dream by offering scholarships to current, incoming, and transfer students. The number of scholarships and amounts awarded can vary; scholarship amounts typically range from $500-$2,000 per year. Want to learn more?
