High School Relations & Scholarship Information

Our chapter is busy year-round recruiting area high school students who are interested in LSU. Our chapter, along with the Tarrant County alumni chapter, volunteers at college night programs at high schools all over the Metroplex throughout the fall. Along with the LSU Office of Recruiting Services, our group also sponsors receptions in the homes of area alumni for interested seniors and parents in the fall and juniors and parents in the spring. We´ve found these small information sessions to be an excellent recruiting tool for the outstanding students here in the D/FW area.

During the course of the year our alumni volunteers make phone calls to the prospective students and parents to visit with them, answer any questions they might have and encourage them to make a campus visit. As we all know, once you get them to campus, they´re "hooked" – LSU sells itself!

Our chapter, in conjunction with the Houston and North Houston alumni chapters, sponsors a "Texas Tiger" reception each year in Baton Rouge at Spring Invitational (formerly Spring Testing) for all the Texas students who are on campus for early placement orientation. Once we know who from the D/FW area will be attending LSU in the fall, our chapter hosts a Summer Send-off Party for all the new students and their parents. This gives them a chance to meet some of the other Metroplex students before they get on campus, and all these events give the kids and parents a sense of belonging to the LSU Family.

We are always in need of volunteers to help out with high school recruiting and related events. Please view the events calendar below, and contact Linda Young, our High School Relations/Scholarship Coordinator.
