I know a baseball player offered one of the legislative scholarships. Forgive me if I have the name incorrect. In other words it's offered by one of the state elected officials. It covers tuition. That still leaves 16-17 K a year to attend Tulane. There are still costs tacked on to the tuition plus room and board. It's around 59K a year to go there. Compare that to LSU. Tulane is a good school but its not even a top 30-40 school nationally. Only the very rich can go there. Either that or you are walking out with huge student loans.

In the past, they've given those to the New Orleans area kids, who could live at home. The 11.7 can then be spread around to out-of-state kids. As a result, they were able to offer more money to their "superstar" recruits as well.
When there was the big "expose'" on the legislative scholarship, a new system was put in place where every "award" has to go before a board. This essentially eliminated the preferential treatment that certain Tulane-baseball-friendly politicians used to fill the Tulane roster. Rick Jones (and Brockhoff before him) actually recruited using the Legislative Scholarship.
