 We have tried to organize this list by topics to help families looking for a specific piece of information concerning a financial aid program or service.

La⋅gniappe  /lænˈyæp, ˈlænyæp/   Spelled Pronunciation [lan-yap, lan-yap]  –noun

1. Chiefly Southern Louisiana and Southeast Texas. a small gift given with a purchase to a customer, by way of compliment or for good measure; bonus. 2. a gratuity or tip. 3. an unexpected or indirect benefit

 

And, since we know that the financial aid  process can be sometimes overwhelming, we have sprinkled within this site some lagniappe -- links to some of New Orleans' best sights and sounds through the gifts our local musicians. If you need a break from dealing with serious matters, take a moment to  learn about our amazing city.
