LA Gater News

Dear OLPS Families,

We just received this information from ODYSSEY for the LA GATOR Scholarship Program. Please take the time to read through this information, as they have updated the status of approved students to *Approved-Awaiting Opt In.* This means families must log in to their Odyssey Account and opt in to the Louisiana Giving All True Opportunity to Rise (LA GATOR) Scholarship Program by Wednesday, July 29, 2026.

If a family does not opt in by this deadline, the student will be moved to an opted- out status and will forfeit their spot in the LA GATOR Scholarship Program.

1. Log in to the portal at: http://withodyssey.com/en/louisiana-esa/2026-2027/dashboard

2. Confirm Participation

3. Once participation is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation from Odyssey.

This is unconfirmed, but this portal may be open to new students who did not qualify last year but will receive funding this year, so it may be worth checking.


Sincerely,

OLPS Administration
Sr. Carmen Botello
