Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact the introductory paragraph of R.S. 17:5029(E)(1) and 5029(E)(1)(d), relative to the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students; to provide relative to eligibility requirements for certain military veterans to receive a TOPS-Tech Award; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) by removing specific academic year limitations and changing eligibility requirements for certain military veterans seeking a TOPS-Tech Award. Specifically, it eliminates the requirement for a minimum ACT or SAT score, or a silver level score on the ACT WorkKeys system, and instead mandates that eligible veterans provide a copy of their DD Form 214, a Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, to prove qualifying military service, provided they were honorably discharged from a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and served at a Louisiana military installation.
