LaPREP has established a link with LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport which allows LaPREP graduates to enter JUMPSTART, one of a series of medical/research programs in the LSUHSC pipeline of programs that support and encourage students to pursue medical careers.

 

LaPREP also links with the Institute of Financial Literacy of the Louisiana Consortium of Insurance and Financial Services which brings together middle and high school teachers, members of the business sector, and LaPREP participants and staff to explore the topics of personal finance. This seminar, Financial Independence for Life, is completely underwritten by the Louisiana Consortium.
