One Louisiana Senator believes everyone who qualified for the TOPS program should at least get something. His plan will be debated in the Senate this week.
The Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee says the state does have enough money to fund the TOPS program. If so this would avoid a potential disaster for the state's colleges and universities.
It doesn't look as if Louisiana's TOPS program is completely dead. However, it's reincarnation could look a whole lot different than the original model.
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.
