An individual who owes repayment of a grant or work-study award, or who is in default in repayment of any loan owed to the authority, is not eligible to receive a loan until such financial obligations to the authority are satisfied, provided, however, that ineligibility for this reason may be waived, at the recommendation of a designated staff review committee for cause.(2)
Eligible applicants for such loans must already possess a Kentucky teacher certificate.(3)
For first time eligible applicants, priority for such loans will be given in rank order established on the basis of the following weighted criteria:(a)

Certified teachers, who received a loan under this program pursuant to prior administrative regulations, to pursue certification in a critical shortage field on a part-time basis during the regular school year, shall be eligible to receive additional loans in accordance with this administrative regulation to complete such certification. Such loans shall not exceed tuition and institutional fees payable by such a recipient in a qualified teacher education program.(6)

Eligible applicants for loans must have a grade point average of at least 2.5 computed on a 4.0 scale.(3)
The participating institution shall establish a screening committee to verify that applicants from that institution are eligible for a loan under this section. The committee will certify that eligible loan applicants have a reasonable chance for completing the qualified teacher education program in the selected major.

Application. Applications for loans will be received, evaluated and verified by the screening committee at the participating institution where the applicant intends to enroll. Applications must be submitted by a deadline set annually by the authority. The participating institution shall forward the applications, ranking, and supporting documentation of the eligible applicants to the authority. Loans for summer session attendance shall be made upon separate application.Section 6.
Renewal. Applicants who have successfully completed one (1) or more summer sessions or semesters in the program, maintain a 2.5 grade point average computed on a 4.0 scale and make normal progress toward completion of certification requirements in one (1) of the critical shortage fields, as determined by the participating institution, qualify for subsequent loans, upon application, and shall receive priority over new applicants. Loans pursuant to Section 3 of this administrative regulation shall be renewed for a maximum of two (2) summer sessions.Section 7.

Reallocation of Funds.(1)
principal and interest paid by recipients, and any money not utilized under Section 3 of this administrative regulation shall be used to make additional loans under Section 4 of this administrative regulation.(2)
In the event that funds are not sufficient to award all applicants, loans shall first be awarded to those qualifying applicants who previously received loans. In the event that funds are insufficient to award all prior recipients who are qualified applicants, then loans shall be prorated in accordance with the cumulative amount previously received by the applicant. If funds are sufficient to award new applicants, an award shall be made first to the applicant with the highest score on the selection criteria and, thereafter, in descending order to persons having lower scores until all available funds are exhausted.Section 9.
Disbursements. Disbursements of loans shall be made at the beginning of each semester or summer session and such disbursement shall be evidenced by a promissory note, prescribed by the authority, in which the loan recipient shall agree to repay the loan or render qualified teaching service in lieu thereof.Section 10.

Withdrawals. Loan recipients who, prior to completion, cease to be enrolled on a full-time basis in a qualified teacher education program at a participating institution, shall immediately become liable for the repayment to the authority of the sum of all loans received plus interest accrued thereon unless such recipient has an approved deferment pursuant to 11 KAR 7:020. For purposes of this section, teachers seeking recertification in accordance with Section 3 of this administrative regulation are considered enrolled on a full-time basis for so long as they continue to enroll full time in consecutive summer sessions while making normal progress toward completion of certification requirements as determined by the participating institution.Section 12.
Repayment. Recipients who do not begin employment in a qualified teaching service position within the six (6) month period following completion of a qualified teacher education program in a participating institution (excluding periods of deferment pursuant to 11 KAR 7:020) shall immediately become liable to the authority for repayment of principal and interest accrued, pursuant to the earliest promissory note then outstanding.

Repayment Schedule. Written notification of demand shall be sent by the authority to the loan recipient's last known address and shall be effective upon mailing. The authority may agree, in its sole discretion, to accept repayment in installments in accordance with a schedule established by the authority. In the event that more than one (1) promissory note has come due for repayment and remains unpaid, then payments shall first be applied to the earliest unpaid promissory note. Payments shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal.Section 14.
