Louisiana Tech University has a General Scholarship Program administered through the Division of Admissions, Basic and Career Studies. Academic Scholarships are awarded on the basis of demonstrated ability -- usually without regard to need. For general admissions scholarships, incoming freshman should apply for admission by the priority deadline. No separate scholarship application is needed, but ACT or SAT scores and high school transcript with GPA and rank (if applicable) should be submitted. For scholarship purposes, scores through the December test date will be accepted. Students who are not residents of Louisiana may be eligible for an out-of-state scholarship which covers all out-of-state fees. In addition, each of the five colleges (Business, Applied and Natural Sciences, Education, Engineering and Science, and Liberal Arts) has its own scholarship program. General admissions information will be forwarded to some colleges, but students should contact the individual department for additional requirements.
