Scholarship Opportunities at La Salle
Scholarships not only help you cover the costs of your student's college education – they acknowledge and reward your student's accomplishments both in and out of the classroom. Many factors can influence who receives scholarships, including: GPA, standardized test scores, the strength of the curriculum chosen, extracurricular activities, community service, financial need, the application essay, and letters of recommendation.
Keep in mind that some scholarships require a separate application that’s specific to the scholarship for which your student is applying. There are also scholarships not listed that your student may qualify for.
Fill out the La Salle University Common Scholarship Application to be considered for many different scholarships, including some that might not be listed. Also, be sure to check whether there is a separate application and other application requirements for the scholarship(s) your student is interested in.
