Reading the table

Enrollment is scale, not quality. "Accredited" and "non-accredited approved" are both BESE-approved and both take LA GATOR; the difference is whether the school holds a recognized accreditation. A check in the TDC column means the school took STO scholarships in 2024-25 and can stack them with the account. Teacher counts are the school's own federal survey answers and can be a year or two old.

What will your family's LA GATOR amount cover?

Answer five questions. An advisor calls back with your likely amount, the schools that take it, and what fills the gap. Free, no paperwork.
