LSU tuition costs 2006-2010 with TOPS

Does anyone recall what tuition was during this time span with TOPS?
I know they had different levels of TOPS, I want to say I was paying like ~$600 a semester in tuition...does that sound accurate?

No idea, but $600 a semester seem really low.

I thought I was paying 1500/semester back in the early 00s.

I don't know what tuition was, but the $600 is likely the cash stipend part of TOPS as that is what I recall the amount was

I wasn’t at LSU, but the full tuition plus an $800 stipend per semester was the max tops awards. It could be used at any public or private school in LA.

I was there from 2006-2010 and paid roughly $3,000-3,500 per semester in tuition. No TOPS, and had to pay two years of non-resident (essentially double), despite being born and raised in LA

Thanks for the data point

No. It was much more than that.

Real question you are asking is what were the fees

2003-2007. It was about 2,100 a semester for me, and I had about 1,600 in TOPS Money. It ran me about 500-600 a semester after TOPS.

This is what I had - mid 2000s. The stipend basically covered all of the extra fees that tuition didn’t cover, Technology fee, Academic Excellence fee, etc with about enough left over to buy 1/2 a textbook.
The actual tuition I think was around $2500 or so.

Yeah tuition even right now is essentially free with TOPS. Think i paid like $70 for this semester. But tuition and overall fee bill costs with fees are two very different things.

1st semester 2001 tuition was $1250 for 18 hours. Last semester 2006 tuition was $3600 for 12 hours. Thanks Nick and La Government!

I believe the one semester of tuition I paid for in 2009 was 3,500? Fees were the real killer.

Yep.

Pretty sure with TOPS it was free tuition and then you got a cash stipend of $600 or $800 depending upon your level of TOPS
Posted on 7/26/22 at 2:45 pm to honeybadger07
I went to LSU in 2013 and my first semester fee bill was $900. I had the too level of TOPS i think.
Posted on 7/26/22 at 2:48 pm to honeybadger07
2000 - 2006 was $3K ballpark depending on schedule load before TOPS.
