HB 1128 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

TOPS: Provides relative to TOPS-Tech

This bill updates Louisiana's TOPS-Tech scholarship program to clarify how funding is distributed to students in associate degree and shorter-term training programs. It establishes that eligible students will receive awards equal to tuition and fees from the 2016-2017 academic year, with adjustments for programs that no longer align with state priorities. The legislation also allows TOPS-Tech awards for students in registered apprenticeships and employees at approved workforce providers, while requiring the Board of Regents and Louisiana Works to track program outcomes and submit annual reports to the legislature.
