Scholarships
The College of the Coast & Environment, or CC&E, provides scholarships for its students.
These scholarships are made possible through the generous support of donors committed
to preserving, protecting, and sustaining the coastal environment for generations
to come.
How to Apply
Most of CC&E’s scholarships are awarded via Blackbaud Award Management, an online platform managed by the LSU Foundation. Current students may apply online using this system. New students will complete a Common Application which is used for both admissions and scholarship review. Access links to both systems below.
Students must reapply for awards annually via the Blackbaud Award Management. This also applies to renewable scholarships.
Current and accepted undergraduate and graduate students should apply for these scholarships by March 1.
Our Scholarships
The amount of each of our scholarships can vary annually based on market performance and other conditions. We don't award all scholarships every year, and some of our scholarships may be awarded to multiple students.
