Louisiana HB1128 modifies the TOPS-Tech scholarship program to include registered apprenticeships and workforce provider employees.
Louisiana HB1128 amends the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) to expand eligibility for TOPS-Tech awards. The bill allows the administering agency to issue TOPS-Tech awards to students participating in registered apprenticeships through approved sponsors and employees at approved workforce providers. The award amount is determined by the state and is not tied to specific tuition amounts. The Board of Regents, in coordination with Louisiana Works, is required to track program completion, employment placement, earnings outcomes, and other measures.
