LSMSA students nationally recognized by College Board

Students honored are: 

“We are incredibly proud of our students for their achievements in their classrooms and on College Board assessments,” said Dr. Kristi Key, LSMSA Director of Academic Affairs. “These programs help students from underrepresented backgrounds stand out to colleges during admissions – something that matters now more than ever.”

These National Recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them meaningfully connect to colleges and stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs identify students awarded National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous and/or Rural/Small Town Recognition through College Board’s Student Search Service. Students who may be eligible have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams; and are African American or Black, Hispanic American or Latinx, Indigenous, and/or attend school in a rural area or small town. Eligible students will be invited to apply during their sophomore or junior year and will be awarded at the beginning of the next school year. Students will receive their awards in time to include them on their college and scholarship applications.

LSMSA is a tuition-free, state-funded residential school for high-achieving, highly motivated rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors in Louisiana who are seeking an academic challenge.
