2023 LSU Summer Scholars Program
LSU University College’s Summer Scholars is a seven-week summer bridge program that prepares selected under-represented 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 they 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 baccalaureate degree. In addition to tutoring, students will attend academic and leadership development workshops, receive extensive academic counseling, and participate in social and cultural activities. Students selected as LSU Summer Scholars are awarded a summer only scholarship that covers tuition, housing, and a meal plan.
