More math options for Louisiana scholarships

For Louisiana students graduating in 2025–2026 or later, Integrated Mathematics courses count toward TOPS scholarship math requirements. For Opportunity, Performance, Honors, and Excellence awards, Integrated Mathematics I, II, and III match Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. TOPS-Tech recognizes Integrated Mathematics I and II in its algebra and geometry categories, and III in specified higher-math lists. Students still need four math units and must meet their award’s other core course requirements. Course choices depend on graduation year and award type; earlier graduates follow their own cohort rules.
