The LSSSL will award two $500 scholarships at the end of each season to one male and one female swimmer. The scholarships are a one-time award and are not renewable each year. A check for the total amount of the scholarship will be paid directly to the scholarship award winner’s college or university once proof of admission and attendance to the college or university is verified by the LSSSL Treasurer.

Applicants must:

Be a LSSSL active participant in good standing.

Be a graduated high school senior who is swimming in or has completed his/her final year of LSSSL eligibility. Swimmers graduated in the current year’s graduating class, but who are older than eighteen years of age are eligible to apply for the scholarship.
