Funding for student accounts is subject to annual legislative appropriation of state funds. If allocated funds are insufficient to fund all eligible students, awards shall be prioritized as follows:
Returning LA GATOR Scholarship Program recipients who were approved and funded in 2025-2026.
Students from a family with a total income at or below 250% of the federal poverty guidelines or students identified as having a disability under IDEA.
Siblings of students currently participating in LA GATOR.
All other eligible students.
If multiple students fall in the same priority group, applications are ordered by submission timestamp. Students who applied earlier within the window are prioritized over later applicants.
