How to View and Accept Your Award

Scholarships at LSCPA are applied directly to the student's account to pay for tuition, fees, books and miscellaneous charges. All tasks must be complete and the student must be enrolled in courses to receive the scholarship funds. Scholarships can not be applied and disbursed to your account prior to 10 days before classes begin.
 
Scholarship funds tat are managed by Lamar State College Port Arthur (DAR, PAIG and Dunham) are mailed to the school address that the student provides. All in-house scholarships are applied to the student's account to pay for tuition, fees and books. Any overage of funds will be sent to the student in a refund.

A scholarship will affect your other student aid because all your student aid added together can’t be more than your cost of attendance at your college or career school. So, you’ll need to let your school know if you’ve been awarded a scholarship so that the financial aid office can subtract that amount from your cost of attendance (and from certain other aid, such as loans, that you might have been offered). Then, any amount left can be covered by other financial aid for which you’re eligible.

Students must be continuously enrolled to remain eligible for their award.

While most of our scholarships are internal opportunities only, there are select scholarships that are transferrable to external institutions, such as the Dunham & Dunham Memorial and PAIG Advisory Group Academic Scholarships, or Eber Ephlin Scholarship.

(Select your scholarship above to complete the Scholarship School Transfer Form.)

While most of our scholarships are internal opportunities only, there are select scholarships that allow students to attend any college of their choice, such as Dunham & Dunham Memorial, PAIG Advisory Group Academic, and Capt. William Sanders Chapter – DAR.
