This program includes students pursuing associates degrees, a technical certificate, or HiSET/high school equivalency (WorkreadyU).
“Louisiana lawmakers dedicated $10.5 million to the M.J. Foster Promise Award Program, which is meant to help low-income state residents who are at least 21 years old pay tuition and fees at two-year postsecondary schools or approved proprietary schools. The grants, in most cases limited to $3,200 per year and $6,400 over three years, can be used to pursue an associate degree or a job certification that can be earned more quickly.”

Named after former Louisiana Governor Mike J. Foster, the MJ Foster Promise Program is a new $10.5 million annual state fund that will provide financial support for students to earn credentials that align to high-demand jobs in these growing industry sectors.
