About Us
LSU Alumni of Central Florida, Inc. is dedicated to raising funds for scholarship and future alumni programming to assist students in the Central Florida Community in completing a degree at LSU. We strive to create a lifelong community of alumni and friends through meaningful engagement to increase awareness, pride, participation, volunteer involvement and commitment to our community and to Louisiana State University.
Central Florida Chapter board members, Chris Gearity, Curtis Ward, and Debi & Paul West presented a donation
of $15,000 to the National LSU Alumni Association.
We are proud to have completely the funded our first Flagship Scholarship. In addition, we were able to start building another Flagship Scholarship.
We are proud to have raised over $140,000 for our scholarship fund during recent years. This fund provides Flagship Scholarship(s) to deserving students each year and will continue to do so in perpetuity. The Flagship Scholarship fund provides Full Tuition Paid Scholarships each and every year going forward to local Central Florida High School Students who meet the academic requirements. The typical student who qualifies for the Flagship Scholarship will most likely receive other additional scholarship funding through the various LSU foundations in their Freshman year and beyond if they maintain the required GPA.
We are not stopping here. We will continue our mission to raise funds to provide scholarships for students right here in our community. With the help of our local alumni, fans, friends, and generous business supporters, we can add additional scholarships.

promoting LSU! Our chapter is busy year-round recruiting area high school students at individual school college nights and at area college fairs.
If you are interested in learning more about LSU, please don’t hesitate to contact any of our officers or board members or email us at orlandotigers@gmail.com. Any of our group activities would be a great place to learn more about the schools – one thing all Tiger alum love is reminiscing about their days at LSU!
