Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) An academic
					 performance award offered to an alternate after relinquishment of the award by
					 the original holder shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as
					 applied to the original holder. In particular, if the reaward is made after the
					 effective date of the award, the alternate shall be eligible to receive such
					 award only if he began approved study on the effective date of the award, or
					 would have been entitled to a leave of absence for such period. However, if the
					 alternate has, subsequent to the effective date, entered upon study in a school
					 or in a program not approved for the reaward, then the reaward shall be offered
					 instead to the next eligible alternate.
(b) If a person who has declined an academic
					 performance award should rescind such declination during the period authorized
					 by law for reawards, such person shall be restored to the alternate list and
					 shall receive appropriate consideration for subsequent reawards that may become
					 available. No additional scholarship can be created for such purpose except in
					 the case of administrative error. Should such declination be rescinded after
					 the final date established for reawards, and should the declination have been
					 made originally through error or oversight on the part of the student, in the
					 judgment of the commissioner, then a reaward may be made if there is an
					 available scholarship in such scholarship series that has not yet been
					 accepted, provided that payment of scholarship benefits can begin only with the
					 academic year in which such reaward is made.
(c) If the recipient of an academic
					 performance award has matriculated for the first semester following the
					 effective date of the award, but the award is subsequently relinquished or
					 revoked for reasons that make the recipient ineligible for any payment under
					 that award for such semester, then such award shall be available for reaward to
					 an alternate during the remaining period for reawards established by
					 law.

(b) Where there has been a merger, separation
					 or other reorganization of high schools, such that the number of graduates the
					 preceding year would not provide a valid criterion for the number of additional
					 scholarships to be allocated within the intent of the law, the commissioner may
					 determine such appropriate reallocation of such scholarships as he deems
					 equitable.
