[Education Law, §107 ] The amount to be awarded to each of the qualified candidates in his order on the list shall be determined as follows:

(a) Each recipient shall be awarded an amount equal to the cost of tuition and mandatory fees at the approved library school being attended.

(b) To the amount for tuition shall be added an amount to cover the costs of texts and travel to the approved library school, except that the total award may not exceed $3,000. This additional amount shall be determined as follows:

(1) A recipient who attends a library school within 40 miles of his legal residence shall be eligible for a maximum additional amount of $500, if the combined net taxable balance of the income of the recipient and/or his parents, or parent, or other person legally responsible for his support, plus any income from tax-exempt securities as set forth in the New York State income tax return for the calendar year last preceding the school year in which the scholarship becomes effective, is $1,000 or less.

(2) A recipient who attends a library school more than 40 miles distant from his legal residence shall be eligible for a maximum additional amount of $1,000, if the combined net taxable balance of the income of the recipient and/or his parents, or parent, or other person legally responsible for his support, plus any income from tax-exempt securities as set forth in the New York State income tax return for the calendar year last preceding the school year in which the scholarship becomes effective, is $1,000 or less.

(3) If such income exceeds $1,000 the amount for which the recipient shall be eligible will be diminished by one dollar for each eight dollars, or parts thereof, of such income in excess of $1,000, provided, however, that no training grant shall be less than the actual tuition costs.

(c) Payment of awards shall be divided into installments made at the beginning of each semester of study in which the qualified candidate is registered for at least six semester hours. Each installment shall be proportionate to the total amount for which the candidate is eligible in the same ratio as the number of credit hours of study taken that semester is to the total year of study.
