South Louisiana Community College has several campuses spread over southern Louisiana. (The Center Square) − The number of students participating in the state-financed Taylor Opportunity Program for Students has declined for the third year in a row, according to a report from the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana.
“Nearly 46,000 students received TOPS scholarships in the last school year, totaling more than $270 million,” PAR reported. “Compared with levels four years ago, that is a 14% decrease in participation and a $43 million drop in state spending on the program.”
This decline represents a reduction of roughly $43 million in state spending, according to the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance. PAR attributes the decline in TOPS participation to the general decline in college enrollment.
A shrinking pool of high school graduates eligible for the scholarships have also contributed to the drop in awards. Since 2017, the number of eligible high […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
