29 240.605 The William L. Boyd, IV Florida resident
30 access grants.--
31 (1) The Legislature finds and declares that
2

SENATE AMENDMENT
Bill No. CS/HB 3065
Amendment No.
1 independent nonprofit colleges and universities eligible to
2 participate in the William L. Boyd, IV Florida Resident Access
3 Grant Program are an integral part of the higher education
4 system in this state and that a significant number of state
5 residents choose this form of higher education. The
6 Legislature further finds that a strong and viable system of
7 independent nonprofit colleges and universities reduces the
8 tax burden on the citizens of the state. Because the William
9 L. Boyd, IV Florida Resident Access Grant Program is not
10 related to a student's financial need or other criteria upon
11 which financial aid programs are based, it is the intent of
12 the Legislature that the William L. Boyd, IV Florida Resident
13 Access Grant Program not be considered a financial aid program
14 but rather a tuition assistance program for its citizens.
15 (2) The William L. Boyd, IV Florida Resident Access
16 Grant Program shall be administered by the Department of
17 Education. The State Board of Education shall adopt rules for
18 the administration of the program.
19 (3) The department shall issue through the program a
20 William L. Boyd, IV Florida resident access grant to any
21 full-time degree-seeking undergraduate student registered at
22 an independent nonprofit college or university which is
23 located in and chartered by the state; which is accredited by
24 the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of
25 Colleges and Schools; which grants baccalaureate degrees;
26 which is not a state university or state community college;
27 and which has a secular purpose, so long as the receipt of
28 state aid by students at the institution would not have the
29 primary effect of advancing or impeding religion or result in
30 an excessive entanglement between the state and any religious
31 sect. Any independent college or university that was eligible

1 to receive tuition vouchers on January 1, 1989, and which
2 continues to meet the criteria under which its eligibility was
3 established, shall remain eligible to receive William L. Boyd,
4 IV Florida resident access grant payments.
5 (4) A person is eligible to receive such William L.
6 Boyd, IV Florida resident access grant if:
7 (a) He or she meets the general requirements,
8 including residency, for student eligibility as provided in s.
9 240.404, except as otherwise provided in this section; and
10 (b)1. He or she is enrolled as a full-time
11 undergraduate student at an eligible college or university;
12 2. He or she is not enrolled in a program of study
13 leading to a degree in theology or divinity; and
14 3. He or she is making satisfactory academic progress
15 as defined by the college or university in which he or she is
16 enrolled.
17 (5)(a) Funding for the William L. Boyd, IV Florida
18 resident access grant shall be based on a formula composed of
19 planned enrollment and the state cost of funding undergraduate
20 enrollment at public institutions pursuant to s. 240.271.
21 However, the amount of the William L. Boyd, IV Florida
22 resident access grant issued to a full-time student shall be
23 30 percent in 1996-1997, 35 percent in 1997-1998, and 40
24 percent in 1998-1999 and thereafter of the full cost to the
25 state per academic year of an undergraduate student in public
26 postsecondary education established pursuant to s. 240.209 or
27 an amount as specified in the General Appropriations Act. The
28 Florida William L. Boyd, IV resident access grant may be paid
29 on a prorated basis in advance of the registration period. The
30 department shall make such payments to the college or
31 university in which the student is enrolled for credit to the

1 student's account for payment of tuition and fees.
2 Institutions shall certify to the department the amount of
3 funds disbursed to each student and shall remit to the
4 department any undisbursed advances or refunds within 60 days
5 of the end of regular registration. Students shall not be
6 eligible to receive the award for more than 9 semesters or 14
7 quarters, except as otherwise provided in s. 240.404(3).
8 (b) If the combined amount of the William L. Boyd, IV
9 Florida resident access grant issued pursuant to this act and
10 all other scholarships and grants for tuition or fees exceeds
11 the amount charged to the student for tuition and fees, the
12 department shall reduce the William L. Boyd, IV Florida
13 resident access grant issued pursuant to this act by an amount
14 equal to such excess.
15 (c) For the 1997-1998 fiscal year only, funding for
16 the William L. Boyd, IV Florida resident access grant shall be
17 the amount set forth in the General Appropriations Act. This
18 paragraph is repealed on July 1, 1998.
