During the 87th General Assembly the Legislature passed Act 1214, which is an act to amend the Teacher Opportunity Program (TOP) and to provide scholarships to teachers returning to college to receive an additional licensure area.
To view the revised rules concerning the Teacher Opportunity Program rules, please go to:

This link will take a person to the page that lists all of the financial aid programs. The programs are listed in alphabetical order so TOP will be near the bottom of the list. These rules went into effect on February 22, 2010.
