Alexandria, LA (12/15/2022) – LSUA is pleased to announce the opening of the Howard and Eloise Mulder Scholarship for one first-time freshman attending in Fall 2023 and for one current student. This full-ride scholarship is the most prestigious scholarship for new students at LSUA.Â
This year, LSUA is excited to offer this scholarship to an entering first-year student for Fall 2023 and a currently enrolled student.
