The Dallas alumni chapter has 3 Flagship Scholarships endowed ($40,000 each). Historically, the criteria (determined by the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships) has been an ACT score of 33 to 36 or a critical reading and math SAT score of 1440 to 1600 (on the Old SAT) or minimum total score of 1490 on the New SAT AND a 3.0 cumulative computed 6 semester high school GPA.

Our chapter also has endowed a Dallas Legacy Award. This scholarship is given each Fall to an incoming freshman from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area who is admitted to LSU and has at least one parent who graduated from the LSU System. The student must have a minimum 25 ACT composite or equivalent SAT critical reading and math score AND a calculated 3.0 cumulative, 6 semester GPA.
