Alabama Administrative Code › Title 300 - ALABAMA COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION › Chapter 300-4-3 - ALABAMA STUDENT GRANT PROGRAM › Section 300-4-3-.03 - Awarding Procedures

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
The following procedures shall be the method used by ACHE for
				making available Alabama Student Grant Program awards to eligible students at
				approved institutions:
(a)
			 Applications may be obtained from approved institutions and from the Alabama
			 Commission on Higher Education's website.
(b) All information requested on the "Alabama
			 Student Grant Program Application" must be completed and the form mailed or
			 delivered to the Student Financial Aid Office at an approved institution in
			 which the student is or will be enrolled. As long as a student is continuously
			 enrolled, as defined in
			 300-4-2-.01, only an initial
			 application is necessary to be kept on file. Should a student not be
			 continuously enrolled, a new application is required. New Fall Term grant
			 applications must be received by September 15. New Winter Quarter grant
			 applications must be received by January 15. New Spring Semester grant
			 applications must be received by February 15. New Spring Quarter grant
			 applications must be received by April 15. If all items and information
			 requested on the application form are not completed, the application is invalid
			 and the student is ineligible to receive an Alabama Student Grant Program
			 payment.
(c) Applications received
			 in an approved institution's Student Financial Aid Office shall be dated when
			 received. Each application shall have a preliminary review by the institution
			 to determine if the application is complete and meets the eligibility criteria
			 for a grant. Each student applicant shall be notified by the institution when
			 the application is incomplete and additional information is needed. The
			 institution shall notify each applicant who does not meet all eligibility
			 criteria and is, therefore, ineligible for an Alabama Student Grant Program
			 award.
(d) All applications which
			 pass the preliminary review for eligibility shall be compared to other
			 appropriate institutional records. Institutional records shall be used to
			 verify that each student applicant is:
1. A
			 graduate of a secondary school, or the recognized equivalent of a
			 graduate;
2. Classified as an
			 undergraduate student who has not previously received a baccalaureate or other
			 professional degree;
3. An Alabama
			 resident;
4. A citizen of the
			 United States, or in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen;
5. Enrolled as a full-time or half-time
			 student in an eligible program;
6.
			 Making satisfactory academic progress; and
7. Not enrolled in a course of study leading
			 to an undergraduate degree in theology, divinity, or other field of preparation
			 for a religious vocation.

			 enrollment to half-time status after funds are received by the student
			 (following certification as full-time by the approved institution) and is
			 entitled to a refund on reduced charges in accordance with the institution's
			 written refund policy, the student or the institution shall refund to the
			 Alabama Student Grant Program the difference between the amount of grants in
			 full-time students as compared to half-time students for that particular
			 term.
