(2)

If an applicant does not qualify for a CAP grant, and the KTG need is an amount less than $200, an award shall not be made.

If an applicant has received a CAP award and KTG need is an amount equal to or greater than fifty (50) dollars, the KTG award shall be the lesser of the KTG need or the maximum grant specified in Section 5 of this administrative regulation except that KTG awards shall be offered only to the extent that funds are available.

(4)

Section 4.

(1)

A KHEAA grant shall not exceed the cost of tuition and fees charged to the student during the academic year of the award.

(3)

A semester award shall not exceed tuition and fee charges for that semester.

(4)

A KHEAA grant award shall not be made for a summer academic term.

The authority shall reduce or revoke a KHEAA grant upon receipt of documentation that financial assistance from other sources in combination with the KHEAA grant exceeds the educational institution's determination of financial need for that student.

(3)

The KHEAA grant program officer (KGPO) and the grant recipient shall make every reasonable effort to provide the authority the information needed to prevent an overaward.

(2)

If the grant for the fall academic term has already been disbursed, the reduction shall be made to the spring disbursement.
