*All awards are in addition to TOPS awards for those who qualify. The TOPS Award Amount is contingent upon a determination by the Board of Regents/Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance that the student is eligible and upon appropriations by the Louisiana Legislature to fully fund the program. Typically, the TOPS average is $5,600 per year. The number of students who will receive TOPS Awards next year will not be determined until eligibility is determined and elimination provisions are implemented, based on the dollars appropriated.
