I'd imagine that the families that take advantage of this program will not be the poors but the middle class because the amounts they are funding per family is still not enough to cover full tuition. The families will still have to pony up some cash on there own.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking as well. I guess it depends on the amount being received. When I searched Louisiana private school tuitions online, it said the below.

The private school with the lowest tuition cost is St. Mary's Assumption School, with a tuition of $2,365.

So while $5k may not cover tuition at many (any?) schools in BR, it appears it would in other parts of the state. And if some families are getting $7500 or more, it may cover it.
