The State of Louisiana is committed to assisting residents who desire a college education by maintaining high standards of excellence in the public institutions of higher learning. For those who may have difficulty paying for college tuition and residence costs, the non-profit Louisiana Education Loan Authority was established to provide financial assistance. LELA has assisted more than 360,000 Louisiana students with low cost college education loans since 1984, and they are structured to reinvest any profits earned from student loans back into Louisiana’s education and economic development programs.
