The Lettie Pate scholarship is awarded each semester to applicants who meet all scholarship criteria.

Employer Letters of Credit
If you are receiving tuition assistance from your employer via letters of credit we will process those as miscellaneous scholarships on your account.
Please have your employer forward the full letter of credit to Scholarships@lsua.edu and AccountingServices@lsua.edu.
It is important we receive all pages of the letter of credit as these contain important stipulations regarding how it is to be applied based on your employer’s requirements. Some will require any gift aid (scholarships, grants, etc.) be applied
prior to the credit. In that case, your award would reflect only any remaining balance after. In the event your gift aid fully covers your course, no award will be applied.
If your letter of credit amount is greater than the charges for that course, only the amount charged will be awarded.
Our Accounting office will send the invoice to your employer after the add/drop period of the term. If your employer requires an invoice prior to that, please notify AccountingServices@lsua.edu.
IMPORTANT: Once invoiced and payment is received, some employers will only pay specific charges and not others. If the payment received is less than the letter of credit and award amount, we will have to reduce your award. This can then
create a balance owed back to LSUA and will be the student’s responsibility to pay.
