TOPS University
Pathway

The TOPS University Diploma is intended for those students who aspire to enter a 4-year university, such as Southeastern, LSU or another 4-year university immediately or soon following graduation.

​

The TOPS University Diploma Pathway should not be confused with the TOPS Scholarship. That has different requirements, and the scholarship is not guaranteed for TOPS University Diploma Pathway students.
