JOIN OUR TRADITIONS OF GIVING

The LSU Alumni Association embarked on a quest to increase it scholarship endowment in the early 1960s. At that time, the cost to fully endow a scholarship was $20,000. Over the years, the cost of tuition, room, and board have increased dramatically, and the need to increase the award amounts now exceeds the earnings on the $20,000 endowment.

The current mission of the Association is to raise funds to build the endowments of the scholarships to $50,000.

We sponsor more than 438 Legacy Scholarships, of which only 82 have reached $50,000, the principal gift needed to generate earnings to cover the annual cost of each scholarship.

We hope you will consider joining the Zieglers in their mission to help fully fund the “orphaned” Legacy Scholarships –making the dreams of future LSU alumni come true ensuring that your legacy lives on . . . Forever LSU.

Reach out to Amy Parrino, senior vice president of advancement, for information on the numerous opportunities available, and we will do our best to match you with a fund in need that may have special meaning and connection for you.
