Thus entitling them to a free education? Do you believe every family contributed the ~16k per child? Because every family from OOS who received this scholarship still had to pay sixteen thousand dollars per child attending. That number just jumped to $56,000 per child. LSU is no longer a deal for many OOS legacies who more often than not are better educated than Louisiana students.
