Nope. It's a public high school. There is no tuition. Any Louisiana resident can attend if they can get through the application process.

The fees are for room and board, lab fees, and things like that.

No student that qualifies for a spot in an incoming class will be turned away for inability to pay even the small fees to attend. They will get federal grants for the student as far as they can. A fundraising foundation was started for the school and it has a fund established that will fill any remaining need for students who otherwise would miss out on attending due to financial reasons.

They have a brand new dorm they're just finishing up, too. The facilities are pretty impressive for a high school. Plus, it's literally on NSU's campus and they have an agreement with the university (and a number of other smaller universities in the state) where LSMSA classes transfer into college credit if you enroll in those colleges. If you wish to attend one of the smaller schools in the state, you could be 18 years old and basically enter as a junior and have your undergraduate degree complete by the time you're 20.
