Louisiana HB1021 modifies repayment rules for Taylor Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) awards.
HB1021 amends the repayment requirements for TOPS awards, which are merit scholarships for students attending certain postsecondary institutions. The bill specifies that students who graduate from high school after the 2025-2026 school year must repay their TOPS award if they enroll in a community or technical college and do not meet certain criteria. Students are exempt from repayment if they enroll in an eligible program within 12 months of their last enrollment at a baccalaureate degree-granting institution, enroll for at least six credit hours per semester in a workforce training program.
