Endowed scholarships are renewable but are governed by individual criteria, and are not guaranteed for all four years of attendance at Lamar. They are offered for a maximum of four years, and the amounts vary.

Work Study

Work study positions also are available for students who are declared eligible through the financial aid office. The proper paperwork through that office should be completed early in your application since it takes about six months to receive approval. Positions are similar to those offered for assistantships.

Applications are required and will be available each semester in the department office. Deadlines vary but generally will be in mid-November and mid-April.
