Business Scholars

The Business Scholars program provides scholarships and personalized engagement opportunities for four years to incoming students.

These funds are offered in addition to the federal, state and LR financial assistance for which the student is qualified, but cannot be combined to exceed the cost of tuition or combined with other top merit awards.
