basis upon which awards are made. Courses taken, extracurricular participation, and leadership are also used in the selection of scholarship recipients.
To be considered for academic scholarships, you must:

• Include an unofficial transcript when returning the application. NOTE: For students graduating from state-approved
Louisiana high schools on or after May 2003, the paper high school transcript is not required. This information will be
