Section 575-067-0016 - Oregon National Guard State Tuition Assistance Calculation

(1) An eligible student shall receive an award in an amount that equals the resident tuition charges at Oregon public universities, the Oregon Health and Science University, and community colleges that the student is attending. For qualifying private nonprofit institutions, the award amount shall equal the average base resident tuition rate of all Oregon public universities. For students who are dually enrolled in two or more colleges, the Oregon National Guard State Tuition Assistance award will be based on the resident tuition rate charged by the student's home institution.

(2) Prior to the start of the fall term of each academic year, the Commission shall determine whether there are sufficient moneys to award a grant to each person who meets the eligibility criteria described in OAR 575-067-0006. On the basis of this determination, the Commission may limit eligibility to receive a grant to a person whose family contribution, is at or below the level the Commission determines is necessary to allow the Commission to operate the Oregon National Guard State Tuition Assistance program with available moneys. In setting a limitation on eligibility and setting eligibility limits, the Commission shall consider:

(a) The amount of funds allocated to the Oregon National Guard State Tuition Assistance program for the biennium;

(b) The anticipated tuition changes for eligible institutions defined in OAR 575-067-0002.

(c) For purposes of this section, "family contribution" is the student's family resources that reflects an evaluation of a student's approximate financial resources to contribute toward the student's postsecondary education for the academic year and is determined by the US Department of Education.

(3) For the Oregon National Guard State Tuition Assistance program, a dually enrolled, or co-enrolled, student is a student who attends more than one eligible institution during the same academic term or year under a written consortium agreement or concurrent enrollment program.

(4) A student can only be awarded program funds for courses that are a requirement for the declared degree-granting program in which they are enrolled.
