(a) Empire State scholarships of excellence,
Regents college scholarships, Regents professional education in nursing

(1) A candidate shall be eligible to compete
for such scholarships who, at the time of application, is enrolled in high
school and is a candidate for graduation from high school or for early
admission to postsecondary study by the effective date of the scholarship
award, and the award of such scholarship shall be contingent upon the receipt
of a high school diploma or admission to postsecondary study by such date.
However, other persons may be admitted to the competition if previously unable
to compete because of illness, acceleration, or other reason acceptable to the
commissioner, except that no person shall be eligible to compete after having
completed a year of postsecondary study.

in Cornell University shall also make formal application for admission to
Cornell University before the deadline date established by Cornell University
and shall meet the requirements for admission to Cornell University.
(b) Regents professional education
in medicine, dentistry, optometry or veterinary medicine scholarships. A
candidate shall be eligible to compete for such scholarships under the
provisions of subdivision 3, 3-a or 3-b of section

satisfactorily completed an educational program fitting him to enter upon the
professional study of medicine, dentistry, osteopathy, optometry or veterinary
medicine; and

optometry or veterinary medicine. However, a candidate who has entered upon
professional study following completion of an organized program of accelerated
preprofessional study may at the discretion of the commissioner be admitted to
the competition, if otherwise eligible, if study of the basic sciences is
normally completed in such accelerated program during the college year
immediately preceding the beginning of professional study. Also, competition
