AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to World trade center
memorial scholarships
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subparagraph 4 of paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of section
668-d of the education law, as added by chapter 176 of the laws of 2002,
is amended to read as follows:
(4) "Non-tuition cost of attendance", as used in this subdivision,
shall mean: (i) the actual amount charged by the institution for room
and board, and (ii) an allowance for transportation, books and supplies
as determined by the president and as approved by the director of the
budget, provided that such determination shall be made no later than
December first of each year for use in the succeeding academic year. In
the event a student does not incur room or board charges at the institu-
tion, "non-tuition cost of attendance" shall mean an allowance for room
and board as determined by the president and approved by the director of
the budget. A STUDENT SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED, AS A CONDITION OF RECEIV-
ING THE NON-TUITION COST OF ATTENDANCE, TO APPLY FOR ON-CAMPUS HOUSING,
NOR SHALL THE AMOUNT OF NON-TUITION COST OF ATTENDANCE DECREASE BECAUSE
THE STUDENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR OR RECEIVE ON-CAMPUS HOUSING; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER THAT THE AMOUNT OF NON-TUITION COST OF ATTENDANCE MAY BE
DECREASED FOR A STUDENT WHO DOES NOT LIVE IN ON-CAMPUS HOUSING IF SUCH
STUDENT'S PARENT OR PARENTS RESIDE WITHIN REASONABLE COMMUTING DISTANCE,
OR IF THEIR OFF-CAMPUS RESIDENCE IS OWNED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY A
DIRECT RELATION INCLUDING A PARENT, GRANDPARENT, AUNT, UNCLE, SIBLING OR
COUSIN. In determining allowances pursuant to this subparagraph, the
president may take into consideration the allowances provided for in the
Pell grant program.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
