You don't know anyone that stayed in Louisiana because of TOPS?
I know a lot. Of course that's not proof of its success, just my observations.
I don't know the stats.
I am 100 percent against any means testing for this program. That would officially make it a handout.

like permanently, who wouldn't have very likely wound up here anyway? i mean, think it through. where would these folks have gone to school? were they all just barely-missing out on scholarships in LA, and getting them elsewhere? or did they have college options out of state that were so much cheaper it would have been worth going there?
honestly it's really hard to think of many, maybe a half dozen folks who between them worked in LA a total of ten years between them (mostly class of 02-04). i think the best & brightest, or nearly-best & brightest, tend to go to bigger job markets anyway.
ironically i didn't get TOPS (didn't go to high school here) and I will probably stay here, although I worked out of state immediately upon graduation and until 2012
