The governing board of the institution may require that no student withdraw the student's deposit until the student has graduated or has apparently withdrawn from school.(b)  The student deposit fund of an institution of higher education shall be used, at the discretion of the institution's governing board, for making scholarship awards to needy and deserving students of the institution and making grants under Subchapter C, Chapter 56, to resident students of the institution.  The governing board shall administer the scholarship awards for the institution, including the selection of recipients and the amounts and conditions of the awards.  The recipients of the scholarships must be residents of the state as defined for tuition purposes.(c)  Not later than August 31 of each fiscal year, each institution of higher education that has an unobligated and unexpended balance in its student deposit fund that exceeds 150 percent of the total deposits to that fund during that year shall remit to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board the amount of that excess.
