SSS Application

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. For best consideration, students are encouraged to apply at least 3 months prior to the start of the upcoming semester.

After reviewing your application, our office may request additional documentation to verify eligibility. Requests will be sent to your LSU email address, and all materials must be submitted before your application can move forward.

If you meet initial eligibility criteria, a member of our team will contact you to schedule an interview.

This is an opportunity for us to learn more about your goals, experiences, and current commitments, and to determine if SSS is a good fit for you.

After the interview process, you will be notified of your admission status.
