Scholarships

Scholarships awards cover a portion of a student’s expenses. Scholarships are of two types, those administered solely by the College, including the selection of recipients, and those administered by the College at the request of donors who select the recipients themselves. The College’s scholarship program is financed solely by public donations.

Some scholarships are based on a student’s financial need while others are based on academic excellence. Scholarship applications from high school students are due on April 1st. The deadline for other students is June 15th. Students are encouraged to apply before the application deadline.

For more information, contact Scholarship Advisor at scholarships@lamarpa.edu or apply at www.lamarpa.edu/general/forms/LSCPA-Scholarship-Application.

Half of the scholarship normally is disbursed for the Fall Semester, and the remaining half for the Spring Semester, unless otherwise stated.

The College awards approximately 300 scholarships annually. Among these are scholarships made available by the following individuals and organizations.
