If you accept a TOPs scholarship, you should be required to work in Louisiana for a set amount of time or a % of your check returned to the state if you leave Louisiana. Consider it a 0% interest loan
I’m torn on this.
Yes, the ROI is terrible, but the problem is jobs. I grew up in BR and got a finance degree from LSU. We wanted to stay close to family but there was precious little there in terms of entry level jobs, much less anything to build a career on.
Contrast this to my daughter. She’s a freshman at Kennesaw and getting HOPE. When she’s done in three years, odds are she’s staying in the ATL metro area because she can actually work here.

Just take one of the two options:
Option 1) Just make it a loan forgiveness program. Stay in Louisiana for five years with continuous employment and pay taxes and get an amount of your loan forgiven. No graduation, no employment, no loan forgiveness. Hell, open it up for top 5% of graduates from other colleges to get loan forgiveness if they move here.
Option 2) Fund Higher Ed instead of trying to subsidize with TOPS.
