Financial Aid for International Students
It is important to gather the resources needed to fund an education in the U.S. Financial aid is available but it takes work and persistence to find the right assistance for your needs and eligibility. Please be aware that international students typically do not qualify for U.S. financial aid such as Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, etc. Our team does not play any role in financial assistance award decisions. We've provided a list of options that are available to you, but this list is by no means exhaustive.
LSU Financial Assistance
The type of financial assistance available to you will vary on your classification.
Funding Outside of LSU
If no LSU financial assistance is available for you, you can search online for scholarships for international study. There may be private agencies or other entities (government, corporations, etc.) in your home country that offer scholarships or loan programs for the purpose of studying abroad. Be cautious when investigating the legitimacy of the site/agency, especially if there are fees/costs involved.
