F-2, Dependent Scholarships

About the F-2 Dependent Scholarship

The F-2 Dependent Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship specifically designed for the dependents of F-1 visa holders studying at Louisiana State University - Shreveport (LSUS). Offering substantial financial assistance, it aims to ease the financial burden of tuition fees for non-resident students. This scholarship reflects LSUS's commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive educational environment by supporting the family members of international students.

This scholarship is particularly valuable for those who hold F-1 visas, as it recognizes the challenges that often accompany the pursuit of higher education abroad. While primarily targeted at dependents, it symbolizes the university's understanding that education extends beyond just the individual student and values the role of family support in their academic success.
