(1)Not later than August 1, 1999, and each June 30 thereafter, each Kentucky high
school shall submit to the authority, a compiled list of all high school students
during the academic year. A high school shall report the grade point average of an
eligible high school student pursuant to KRS 164.7874 by January 15 following the
end of the fall academic term in which the student completed the high school
graduation requirements. The list shall identify the high school and shall contain
each high school student's name, Social Security number, address, grade point
average for the academic year, expected or actual graduation date, highest ACT
score, family eligibility status for free or reduced-price lunch, and each AP,
Cambridge Advanced International, or IB examination score. The Gatton Academy
of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky, the Craft Academy for Excellence in
Science and Mathematics, and the high school of a model and practice school under
KRS 164.380 shall report the data on its students to the authority. The list need not
contain the ACT, AP, Cambridge Advanced International, or IB if the authority
receives the scores directly from the testing services. The authority shall notify each
eligible high school student of his or her Kentucky educational excellence
scholarship award earned each academic year. The authority shall determine the
final Kentucky educational excellence scholarship and supplemental award based
upon the actual final grade point average, highest ACT score, and qualifying AP,
Cambridge Advanced International, or IB scores and shall notify each eligible
twelfth-grade high school student of the final determination. The authority shall
make available a list of eligible high school and postsecondary students to
participating institutions.
(2)The authority shall provide data access only to the Kentucky Longitudinal Data
System and to those participating institutions that have either received an admission
application from an eligible high school or postsecondary student or have been
listed by the eligible high school or postsecondary student on the Free Application
For Federal Student Aid.
(3)For each eligible postsecondary student enrolling in a participating institution after
July 1, 1999, the participating institution shall verify to the authority:
(a)The student's initial eligibility for a Kentucky educational excellence
scholarship, Kentucky educational excellence scholarship and supplemental
award, or supplemental award only pursuant to KRS 164.7879(3)(d) through
the comprehensive list compiled by the authority or an alternative source
satisfactory to the authority;
(b)The student's highest ACT score attained by the date of graduation from high
school, provided that the participating institution need not report the ACT
score if the authority receives the ACT score directly from the testing services;
(c)The eligible postsecondary student's full-time or part-time enrollment status at
the beginning of each academic term; and
(d)The eligible postsecondary student's cumulative grade point average after the
completion of each award period.
(4)Each participating institution shall submit to the authority a report, in a form
satisfactory to the authority, of all eligible postsecondary students enrolled for that
academic term. Kentucky educational excellence scholarships and supplemental
awards shall be disbursed by the authority to each eligible postsecondary student
attending a participating institution during the academic term within thirty
(30)days
after receiving a satisfactory report.
(5)The Kentucky educational excellence scholarship and the supplemental award shall
not be reduced, except as provided in KRS 164.7881(4).
(6)Kentucky educational excellence scholarships and supplemental awards shall not be
awarded or disbursed to any eligible postsecondary students who are:
(a)In default on any loan under Title IV of the federal act; or
(b)Liable for any amounts that exceed annual or aggregate limits on any loan
under Title IV of the federal act; or
(c)Liable for overpayment of any grant or loan under Title IV of the federal act;
or
(d)In default on any obligation to the authority under any programs administered
by the authority until financial obligations to the authority are satisfied, except
that ineligibility may be waived by the authority for cause.
(7)Notwithstanding the provisions of KRS 164.753, the authority may promulgate
administrative regulations for the administration of Kentucky educational
excellence scholarships and supplemental awards under the provisions of KRS
164.7871 to 164.7885 and KRS 164.7889.
