The state pays for every kid with a 20 on the ACT to go to college, and neglects its high performers while complaining that the workforce isn't educated. It's not that we think it should he free just because, it's that there is a gross and obvious misuse of resources. All why the people that get to appropriate them complain about shite that would be fixed.
Pretty simple thinking by you.

And who knows if tops will even be funded for the full four years.

Everybody always talks about how football has increased enrollment at Bama, but they have some big initiatives to get out of state kids with high scores.

Bama has been pulling in a lot of the Catholic school kids from Nola area the last five years or so

Word on the street is Rice doesn’t want white males.

No, instead of thinking about it, you just made an a-hole comment essentially equaling "millennials just want everything for free!!!!" That's not accurate and the OP has a legit gripe. We can't retain our top students because the nanny state would rather try to send every kid that can write his name to college instead of giving merit based Schollys like every competitive school in the coutntry does.

Seems like his kid is a pretty high achieving student. Did you even read the OP or were you just trying to make a witty comment that isn't funny?

Right, this is absurd. The minimum should be 25, and it shouldn't be contingent upon other factors (income, race, etc...), like has always been mentioned when there is talk about increasing the scores.

Wow! Usually Louisiana highschool students go to LSU for a degree paid by TOPS then immediately move to TX for work and start a family.

You’re right. I’ve harped on this for a long time. Because the kicker is, LSU is offering much better scholarships to out of state students. Out of state scholars similar to your kid would get a full ride (on out of state tuition) plus a stipend. I had several friends on it. Bama and Georgia and others would offer the same things to LA kids, but not their own

yeah, my niece is going to alabama as they are giving her so much $$. Both her parents, 3 of 4 grandparents, 3 of 4 aunts/uncles, all went to LSU but she is going to bama.
This is the same thing LSU did for me. I graduated with great grades / high scores on SAT. I got a few thousand from UT / Georgia Tech - LSU gave me like $15k a year.

quote:doesn't TOPS cover all of the tuition, plus an extra $800 stipend? did for me, add that to and extra $3500 and that's pretty attractive IMO.
LSU has only offered about $3500/year in non-TOPS scholarship $$$

Or is your real point to start a thread bragging about your kid?
