LSU Atlanta

An important focus of the LSU Atlanta Chapter is raising funds for scholarship endowments with the LSU Alumni Association in Baton Rouge. Membership dues, proceeds from Chapter events and contributions to the LSU Alumni Association Atlanta Chapter go toward our scholarship endowment program.

The Atlanta Chapter Scholarship Award provides $500 for each semester to a worthy recipient selected by LSUAA.

The Atlanta Chapter completed its first $20,000 scholarship endowment in 2005, one year ahead of our initial goal.

LSU Atlanta began funding a second $20,000 scholarship endowment in 2006 and has contributed $8,988.75 as of February 2008.
