Taylor Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS)
The Taylor Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) is a program of state merit-based scholarships for Louisiana residents who attend either one of the Louisiana Public Colleges and Universities, schools that are a part of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, Louisiana approved Proprietary and Cosmetology Schools or institutions that are a part of the Louisiana Association of Independent Colleges and Universities.
M.J. Foster Promise Program
The M.J. Foster Promise Program provides financial assistance to eligible students who enroll in a qualified program at a two-year public college or university, or an accredited proprietary school licensed by the Board of Regents to pursue an associate degree or a shorter-term postsecondary education credential required for certain high-demand, high-wage occupations aligned with Louisiana’s workforce priorities. All M.J. Foster Promise Award payments are contingent upon funding availability and are allocated on a first-come, first-billed basis.
Institutional Aid
In addition to Federal Student Aid, we also offer several types of institutional aid to assist you with tuition and fees. You must complete the enrollment process (submit admissions application and register for classes) before scheduling your finance appointment so that we may better assist you.
Schedule an appointment with Financial Services to discuss your options.
TYPES OF INSTITUTIONAL AID
Tuition remission is a reduction in tuition and fees available to qualified students with a household income equal to or less than 200% of the poverty rate as published annually by the Department of Health and Human Services. Tuition remission is subject to the availability of funds determined by the President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Louisiana, Inc. (Goodwill). Tuition remission is last resort funding and considered only when other funding sources are not available to the student.
Students applying for tuition remission will complete an interview with the Student Financial Services Accounting Manager. During the interview, the student will provide household income. If the student lives with their parents, it may be necessary for Financial Services to obtain this data from the parents. Household income data may be provided or self-attested; no backup documentation is required. Tuition remission is not available for students whose tuition and fees are covered by a third-party agency.
The Employment and Training (E&T) program under SNAP is a package of services, which includes assessment, component activities, participant reimbursements and follow-up. The purpose of the E&T program is to assist SNAP participants in gaining skills, training, work or experience that will increase their ability to obtain regular employment. To determine eligibility for the E&T see your caseworker.
The Goodwill Scholarship is available to eligible students to help offset educational expenses. The Goodwill Scholarship is functionally structured as a waiver to reduce or eliminate tuition and fees based on financial need and is used in conjunction with other specified funding sources: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) and Pell Grant.
