LOSFA: TOPS to resume payments next week
www.wwltv.com|LOSFA TOPS|just now
BATON ROUGE - LOSFA executive director Sujuan Boutte says it will resume payments of TOPS next Thursday for up to 80 percent of the students' award next week reversing course on a precautionary email sent by the agency Thursday that placed a temporary halt on the payments.
Boutte says the individual campuses will be responsible for absorbing the remaining 20 percent of the costs that LOSFA doesn't have in their appropriation for the program.
Further implications for TOPS will depend largely on what happens on the outcome of upcoming special legislative sessions concerning the state budget crisis.
On Thursday, the State Office of Student Financial Assistance alerted universities in the state that they'd be suspending TOPS scholarship payments immediately in the face of possible budget cuts.
More details are expected from Boutte shortly.

If he would have mentioned no SAINTS football I probably would have stood up and cheered like Nacho Guy at Trumps rally. Or Thumbs Up guy.

Depends....will the state budget still have to absorb his massive medicaid expansion in the future?

It's probably time to review the program and consider raising standards or capping benefits....but I'm glad to see that it's not so easy to completely kill.

Idiotic. Should be altered significantly before being restarted.

I think TOPS does need work to it. I believe one thing should be if you get TOPS and don't graduate you should have to pay it back. I know a lot of kids that used it for one year and failed. This would be an incentive to 1/ Think about it before you apply, 2/ Use it properly (LSU or Technical College?) 3/ State would at least get reimbursed what it is out.
