I may be naive here but why is this a guaranteed thing? I'd imagine the costs going up some but double? Who would get all this extra tuition? certainly not the teachers. I just don't see why a school would outprice a large number of their students without it benefitting someone.
If the money is going to all families regardless of income, that's $5k (or whatever amount) being shaved off their existing families' tuition bill. It would be nice if they didn't increase tuition, but I think we would be naive to think they won't because.. well.. now they can. They know their families can afford it already.
They also would need to ensure "undesirable" families aren't attending, to ensure they don't lose their "desirable" families. Only way to do that is to make your tuition high enough that the stipend won't cover all/most of it.
Google says there are numerous private schools in Louisiana that are less than $5000-$7500.
