Louisiana college students are about to lose half their scholarship money

Across the country, tuition is going up faster than family's incomes while state funding has declined.
But the cuts in Louisiana are more severe. Its funding for public colleges has fallen 39% since 2008, more than almost any other state, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Meanwhile, tuition rose an average of $3,500 in Louisiana during that time period.
It shouldn't have been a surprise that TOPS was the next domino to fall. The state is facing an historic $600 million budget shortfall and needed an emergency legislative session last year to fix the state's finances. It was at that time in the spring when lawmakers said TOPS would not be fully funded for the 2016-2017 school year.

And why does Louisiana have such budget problems?
