Section 1640-01-11-.06 - TOTAL ADMINISTRATIVE REFERENCE(1) The Paul Douglas Teacher Scholarship Program is a federally-funded State administered program. Federal legislation in Tide V, Part D of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended), and federal regulations in 34 CFR 653 are quite specific in many points. Because of that specificity, the State regulations found in 1640-1-11 do not repeat all of the federal provisions. Therefore, the full administrative reference for the program requires consulting all three documents.(2) In the event of a conflict between the State regulations and the regulations or legislation of the federal government regarding this program, the federal provisions will prevail. However, each provision of the State regulations shall be considered severally, so that a conflict in one point shall not affect the applicability of the remainder of the State regulations.Tenn.
