Mahogane Reed

Class of 2016

"When comparing law schools, I was extremely concerned about not only the quality of my legal education, but also the amount of money I would end up paying for that education. I was accepted to multiple schools all over the country but stuck with LSU because I will graduate with a smaller amount of debt and will have received an excellent education."

Process for Determining Award

Decisions on awards will be made by a Law Center Emergency Grant Committee appointed by the Dean. Emergency grants from the fund will be made on a timely basis once approval has been recommended by the Committee. The Committee will seek clarification of applicants, as necessary. The awards will be made through the LSU Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.

Note: Students cannot obtain funds from both LSU’s Student Emergency Support Fund and this fund at the same time.

Please note that if the applicant has already borrowed the maximum allowable financial aid, as determined by the LSU Financial Aid Office, a grant from this fund may lower the amount a student may borrow in the future if the applicant’s Cost of Attendance is not able to be adjusted.

It is important for each student to contact the LSU Financial Aid office to verify status and impact on existing and future educational loans before accepting this grant.
