Apply directly through Idea Village, and our LBV Krewe will personally select the five founders we will sponsor. Scholarship recipients will be announced in early September.
This initiative and The LBV Scholarship for Aspiring Female Entrepreneurs wouldn’t be possible without our incredible community. A heartfelt thank you to Sucré for generously donating a portion of every LBV King Cake sold, helping fund these scholarships. And to everyone who purchased LBV merchandise or made a donation—you made this possible. Every purchase and donation helped us invest back into aspiring women entrepreneurs and the city we love.
We can’t wait to meet the incredible women building what’s next.
