If the amount that would be required to fully fund all eligible tuition grant offers, or state scholarship offers, or both exceeds state and federal appropriations, the board shall establish eligibility rosters of applicants so that the board may offer tuition grant offers, or state scholarship offers, or both until all available funds are exhausted. The rosters to be used shall be determined by the board annually and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, religion, creed, national origin, age, or the eligible postsecondary institution of the student's choice. Rosters for apportionment of funds may be established that will rank applicants by earliest date of application, highest grade point average, lowest expected family contribution, student classification or a combination of these criteria.

If available funds are insufficient to fully fund all eligible applicants, the board may pro-rate awards on a percentage basis to all eligible applicants in addition, or as an alternative, to the rosters.

Editor's Note:

Effective July 1, 1975, the state education commission was abolished and its powers and duties transferred to the Kansas board of regents. At the board's request, the commission's regulations were transferred to agency 88, article 13. Effective February 15, 1977, the board promulgated new regulations, replacing all regulations formerly promulgated by the commission.
