TSAC, in conjunction with the state board of education and the Tennessee higher education commission, shall develop rules, regulations and criteria for the selection of minority Tennessee citizens and for the management of the program.   All scholarship loans shall be evidenced by notes made payable to TSAC, which shall bear interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per year beginning September 1 after completion of the program, or immediately after termination of the scholarship loan, whichever is earlier.
