Impact Areas

Your generosity on LSU Giving Day impacts the following priority initiatives:

1. Dean's Excellence Fund
By contributing to the Dean's Excellence Fund, you can address pressing needs and unlock opportunities that will shape the future of our students and the business community. Your support directly enhances hands-on learning experiences, fuels groundbreaking research, and elevates professional development initiatives. Invest in their future today. Together, we can develop the next generation of leaders and innovators.

2. Lagniappe Internship Opportunity Fund
Securing a dream internship is a significant achievement, but unforeseen housing or transportation expenses can turn excitement into concern. No student should have to turn down a career opportunity because of financial challenges. The Lagniappe Internship Opportunity Fund removes these financial obstacles. With your support, students can say "yes" to life-changing internships.

3. Business Administration General Scholarship Fund
"This scholarship has been so important to me because it has motivated me to excel in my academic and professional career at LSU. I'm so thankful for all the donors." - Lindsey Chiasson, BS Accounting '24

With a gift to the Business Administration General Scholarship Fund, you create transformational opportunities for students.
