10000SB3138sam002- 20 -LRB100 19604 AXK 38903 a

1    (a) An applicant to whom the Commission has awarded a
2scholarship or grant under this Act may apply for enrollment as
3a student in any qualified institution of higher learning. The
4institution is not required to accept the applicant for
5enrollment, but is free to exact compliance with its own
6admissions requirements, standards, and policies. The
7institution may receive the payments of tuition and other
8necessary fees provided by the scholarship or grant, for credit
9against the student's obligation for such tuition and fees, and
10for no other purpose, and shall be contractually obligated:
11        (1) to provide facilities and instruction to the
12    student on the same terms as to other students generally;
13        (2) to provide the notices and information described in
14    this Act; and to maintain records and documents which
15    demonstrate the eligibility of the students for whom
16    scholarships and grants are claimed.
17    (b) If, in the course of any academic period, any student
18enrolled in any institution pursuant to a scholarship or grant
19awarded under this Act for any reason ceases to be a student in
20good standing, the institution shall promptly give written
21notice to the Commission concerning that change of status and
22the reason therefor. For purposes of this Section, a student
23does not cease to be a student in good standing merely because
24he or she is not classified as a full-time student.
25    (c) A student to whom a renewal scholarship or grant has
26been awarded may either re-enroll in the institution which he

 

 

10000SB3138sam002- 21 -LRB100 19604 AXK 38903 a

1or she attended during the preceding year, or enroll in any
2other qualified institution of higher learning; and in either
3event, the institution accepting the student for enrollment or
4re-enrollment shall notify the Commission of that acceptance
5and may receive payments and shall be contractually obligated
6as provided with respect to a first-year scholarship or grant.
7    (d) The Commission shall administer the scholarship and
8grant accounts and related records of each student who is
9attending an institution of higher learning under financial
10assistance awarded pursuant to this Act, and at each proper
11time shall certify to the State Comptroller, in the manner
12prescribed by law, the current payment to be made to the
13institution on account of such financial assistance, in
14accordance with an appropriate certificate from the
15institution. The Commission may require the participating
16institution of higher learning to perform specific eligibility
17evaluation procedures as a condition of participation.
18    (e) The Commission shall conduct on-site audits of
19educational institutions participating in Commission
20administered programs. When institutions have claimed and
21received funds on behalf of ineligible recipients, the
22Commission may adjust subsequent institutional payments to
23recover those funds.
24    (f) The Commission may, upon the request of any institution
25which received payment for scholarship and grant awards for
26each of the last 5 years, certify to the Comptroller an advance

 

 

10000SB3138sam002- 22 -LRB100 19604 AXK 38903 a

1payment for the current term to be made to the institution on
2account of such financial assistance in an amount not to exceed
375% of announced awards for the institution for such financial
4assistance for the current term, adjusted for attrition over
5the last 5 years. For the purposes of this Section, "attrition"
6is the number of announced award winners enrolled on the 10th
7class day as a percentage of the total announced awards. The
8request for an advance payment for the current term shall not
9be submitted until 10 class days after the last day for
10registration for that term. Upon appropriate certification
11from the institution presented for each payment period, after
12the standard tuition and mandatory fees have been established
13for all students for the term of payment and the award
14recipient has enrolled, the Commission shall certify to the
15State Comptroller the balance of the current payment to be made
16to the institution on account of such financial assistance. If
17an advance payment received by an institution exceeds the
18payment to which that institution is entitled, the Commission
19shall reduce subsequent payments to that institution for later
20terms within the same academic year as the overpayment by an
21amount equal to the overpayment; if the reduction cannot be
22made, the institution shall refund the overpayment to the
23Commission. The Commission may deny or reduce the advance
24payment provided to any institution under this Section if it
25has reason to believe that the advance payment for the current
26term may exceed the full payment the institution is entitled to

 

 

10000SB3138sam002- 23 -LRB100 19604 AXK 38903 a

1receive for such assistance for that term.
2    (g) The personal identity and address of a scholarship,
3grant, or other financial assistance applicant or recipient
4under a non-discretionary program administered by the
5Commission, including, but not limited to, the Monetary Award
6Program under Section 35 of this Act, where eligibility data is
7obtained from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
8authorized by 20 U.S.C. 1090 or is protected from disclosure
9under federal or State law or under rules and regulations
10implementing federal or State law, is information that is
11intended to remain private and shall be exempt from inspection
12and copying under the Freedom of Information Act.
