Louisiana Classroom Teacher Enrollment Program (CTEP)  

During the 1993 Regular Legislative Session, the Legislature passed House Bill 535, and the Governor later signed into law, Act 253 of 1993 which enacted Louisiana Revised Statutes (L.R.S.) 17:3129.3. This law created the Louisiana Classroom Teacher Enrollment Program (CTEP), which, if several stipulations are met, allows classroom teachers to attend Louisiana’s public colleges and universities tuition-free (all other fees must be paid by the teacher) on a space available basis.

Please visit the for more information on the CTEP policy.
