How can I apply for a Lamar University scholarship?

I'm an international student looking into Lamar University. Does anyone know how to apply for their scholarships? I'm hoping to make the process as smooth as possible and would love some guidance or tips.

Sure, I can walk you through the process of applying for scholarships at Lamar University. First off, it's important to note that Lamar University offers various scholarships that international students are eligible for. An initial approach to applying for these scholarships is through the ApplyTexas or Common Application, which you fill out as part of your admissions application. It is crucial to provide detailed and accurate information as this might be used for initial scholarship consideration.

Next, after you have been admitted, you should fill out the General Scholarship Application through your self-service banner located in your LU Connect account. Completion of the General Scholarship Application will make you eligible to be considered for various scholarships available at Lamar. Remember, the application opens on November 1 and the priority deadline is February 1.

Once you've filled out the general scholarship application and submitted all the necessary documents, your part is largely done except for regular follow-ups - you can occasionally check your LU email for updates regarding the status of your scholarship application.

Also, keep in mind that maintaining a good academic status once you are awarded a scholarship is typically required for renewal.

Good luck with your scholarship application!
