Louisiana Tech University has a General Scholarship Program administered through the Division of Admissions, Basic and Career Studies. In addition, each of the five colleges (Business, Applied and Natural Sciences, Education, Engineering and Science, and Liberal Arts) has its own scholarship program. General admissions information will be forwarded to some colleges, but students should contact the individual department for additional requirements.
