Scholarship Students

The Office of Scholarships awards various scholarships to incoming, transfer, and international students. Some include housing stipends that cover all or some of housing.

All scholarships are awarded and facilitated through the Office of Scholarships. A housing scholarship value varies and can be used toward all housing room types except The Heritage Apartments. Having a scholarship does not guarantee you a housing assignment. You must apply for housing and you will be assigned like other students based on the application completion date.

Scholarship Students at Legacy Park

We are limited to the number of scholarship spaces we are able to offer in Legacy Park Apartments. Students already residing at Legacy Park can renew their space for the next academic year. Based on the number of students who renew or if any graduate, if scholarship spots become available at Legacy Park, we will assign those based on the standby list.

When applying for the next year, scholarship students who wish to be assigned to Legacy Park Apartments can put themselves on the scholarship Legacy Park standby list. Legacy Park scholarship spots are based on the student's initial housing application date.

First-Time Freshmen Scholarships

Below is information on how housing and meal plans are covered with your scholarship. Any questions regarding the rest of your scholarship should be directed to the scholarship office at scholars@louisiana.edu.

The housing stipend can only be applied to on-campus housing. Students can select another room type preference or meal plan, but they will be responsible for the cost difference.
