Louisiana college students on TOPS will face a bigger price tag this spring when they feel the brunt of severe cuts to the scholarship program.

The Taylor Opportunity Program for Students will be funded at 41.8 percent this spring. Students will be left to make up the difference.

That looks a little different at each school. Maximum TOPS payments this spring range from about $434 to $671 at two-year schools in the Louisiana Technical & Community College System. They hover above $1,000 for most schools in the Louisiana State University System, going as high as $1,559 for the flagship campus.
