A wide variety of scholarships are offered each year to students at the Lamar Institute of Technology. Scholarships are funds that cover all or a portion of the student’s educational expenses. There are two types of scholarships awarded through the Institute: those administered solely by LIT and those administered by the Institute at the request of donors, who determine criteria and select recipients themselves.

Funds administered by the Scholarship Committee are awarded on the basis of academic achievement, programs of study, or special skills demonstrated by students. Consideration is given to extra-curricular activities such as leadership positions, career accomplishments, or honors and awards received. Departmental scholarships may also be available based on a student’s chosen field of study.

Students applying for scholarships administered by the Institute of Technology should apply to the Office of Student Financial Aid by February 15. An academic transcript must be submitted with the scholarship application if a student wishes to be considered for award in the upcoming academic year.
