About Us
The LSU Summer Scholars Program is an eight-week summer program that prepares selected under-represented minority students to make a successful transition from high school to the University. This summer experience offers students the opportunity to become adjusted to the academic, personal, and social challenges that may encounter at LSU. Students are provided with a structured environment conducive to building the fundamental skills necessary to enhance the likelihood of successful completion of a bachelor’s degree. In addition to tutoring, sessions on study skills and academic and leadership development workshops, the Program provides extensive academic and personal counseling to prepare students for the challenges many new freshman encounter.
Students selected as LSU Summer Scholars are awarded a summer only scholarship that covers tuition, housing, a meal plan. The LSU Summer Scholars Program is committed to the intellectual development of its students.
