Louisiana residents will soon have the opportunity to receive grants to pay for education if they are going into certain high-demand career fields.
The program, called the M.J. Foster Promise Program, was signed into law by Governor John Bel Edwards this week. Starting with the 2022-23 academic year, the program will provide an award to students enrolled in qualified programs at a two-year college or technical institute to pursue an associate degree or a shorter certification required for high-demand jobs in one of Louisiana s industry sectors.
