How LU Foundation Scholarships Work
The LU Foundation scholarships are paid out after all other scholarships, grants, and financial aid have been applied to your account.
These scholarships are awarded based on two main factors:
- Your GPA – Higher GPAs earn more points.
- Your financial need – The larger your remaining balance, the more points you earn.
Points from your GPA and your financial need are added together. Students with the highest combined points receive the scholarships first, and awards are made in order from there.
This process helps ensure that scholarships are given fairly and go to students who are both strong academically and still have financial need.
The Scholarship Committee will review applications and make decisions by the end of October 2025. If students are selected for a scholarship, they will be notified directly by the LU Foundation via email.
For questions, please email lufoundation@langston.edu.
