LSU's graduation rate for scholarship athletes rose 6 percent during the past year, according to an NCAA report released Sept. 2.
By August 2003, the university graduated 55 percent of all student athletes who entered the university during the 1996-1997 school year. The number is only 2 percent less than the overall graduation rate for all university students.
The university's increase is part of a national trend in rising graduation rates for student athletes.
