Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024
(a) Each year eligible institutions may submit scholarship recommendations (applications) to the Board. Applications for the 12-month awards must be submitted to the Board no later than March 15.
(1) Prioritization.
Participating institutions will assign priority numbers to their applicants, so
that if all applicants cannot receive scholarships the Board will know which
applicants are given highest priority by the nominating institutions. Within
the confines of the basic allotment formula the Board will do its best to
accommodate institutional priorities.
(2) Basic allotment. From the pool of valid
applications submitted, the Board shall select:
(A) up to 10 students per eligible country,
plus
(B) 35 students from a Latin
American country designated by the United States Department of State.
(3) Reallocation of unused
scholarships. In the event any nation fails to have 10 students available and
qualified for scholarships or if the designated country fails to have 35 such
students, the Board may allocate such unused scholarships as determined
appropriate, with priority being given to students from Mexico, except that the
total of all scholarships shall not exceed 235 in a year. If an institution
notifies the Board by October 15 of a selected student's failure to use the
offered scholarship, the Board will offer the scholarships to the first
statewide alternate for that country. Awards canceled after October 15 will be
allowed to lapse.
(b) Under no circumstances shall any special consideration be given to applicants who are related to employees of the Board.
