Why don't they just tier TOPS awards??

If you score a 19 -24 on the ACT And still meet the GPA requirement, you can get a full ride to community college, or only receive partial payment to 4 year college.

If you have the score but not the GPA, you receive partial payment to community college or free tuition to a trade or technical.

It is, but based more towards extra scholarships for books and supplies. Or hookers and blow depending on your college experience.

TOPS is tiered.

I had tops when i went to LSU, and it only paid for about half of my tuition. Still had to fork out $1000 per semester.

Wasn't eligible for pell grants since I assume my parents made too much money. We are middle class.

It was when I went, I am assuming the same goes for now


I believe 26 was the threshold for the max Tops stipend

Well is kinda like that anyway since I don't think a 20 ACT will get you into LSU anyway
