[Oasfaa] Proposed policy changes for Academic Scholars Program and Regional University Baccalaureate Scholarships

[Magee, Irala]

At their meeting today, the State Regents approved proposed policy changes for the Academic Scholars Program and the Regional University Baccalaureate Scholarship.  The proposed changes are relatively minor.  The primary change for each program is authorization for a full-time award during the summer semester if the student enrolls in at least 12 hours and has completed at least 24 hours in the preceding fall and spring semesters.  Any summer award will count toward the student's maximum award limit of eight full-time semester awards.

Attached are copies of the agenda items from the meeting today that explain the changes and contain the actual text of the changes.  These proposed policy changes must go through the state's Administrative Procedures process so they will be submitted to the Legislature and the Governor in 2014.  If approved by the Legislature and Governor, they could become effective around May 2014.

If you have specific questions about the proposed policy changes, please contact Linette McMurtrey, the Scholarship Coordinator for these two programs at lmcmurtrey at osrhe.edu<mailto:lmcmurtrey at osrhe.edu> or at 405-225-9131.
