TOPS

Less than 24 hours after it was announced that all TOPS payments would be suspended indefinitely, LOSFA has announced that it would resume partial payments of TOPS scholarships.

According to Edwards, "If you are student attending one of those universities, it means that you will receive a grade of incomplete".

Jindal veto assures that TOPS will remain as is. What's next for the program that some legislators say we can no longer afford?

Any parent with a student in college will tell you that tuition goes up every year. In the current financial framework of TOPS so would the TOPS award. Legislators say the automatic increase has to stop.

State colleges and universities are now one step closer to have more control over student fees at their institutions.

If you think letting Louisiana's smartest kids twist in the breeze is a good idea then do nothing. If you want our children to have the best opportunity to make our state better then take action now.

Changes in Louisiana's TOPS Scholarship program have passed through the Senate. The legislation is now headed for the House.

Is Louisiana's portion of the 1989 tobacco settlement the solution to the state's current budget woes? Governor Jindal seems to think so.

Students will have to maintain a higher GPA and do better on the ACT if they want TOPS money for college.

Proposed changes in the TOPS program could change who qualifies for the program and how much money they will receive for college.

Will Louisiana's TOPS students soon be required to work in the state of Louisiana after graduation? One state legislator is proposing to make it so in this session. Should this apply to all students who receive scholarships? Perhaps a football player who attends college on an athletic scholarship would he be required to play for the Saints?
