BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - As part of an effort to reconnect the LSU family, the LSU Board of Supervisors has approved the Louisiana Tiger Legacy Scholarship Program, which will begin with the summer/fall 2017 incoming class.
The academic, merit-based scholarship will be awarded to incoming, full-time, Louisiana resident freshman or transfer students whose parent either graduated from or are currently employed at LSU’s flagship campus.
LSU President F. King Alexander, in a news release, says the new scholarship is designed to reconnect with LSU alumni and “build loyalty across several generations.”
