§ 56.034. GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY AND
AWARDING GRANTS. (a) The governing boards of institutions of
higher education shall establish guidelines to determine
eligibility for awarding Texas Public Educational Grants subject to
the limitations of this section.
(b) Financial need shall be the only consideration in
establishing guidelines to determine a student's eligibility for a
grant except that returning students who are on scholastic
probation or all students on disciplinary probation may be deemed
ineligible at the governing board's discretion.
(c) Guidelines adopted shall be submitted to the
coordinating board, which is authorized to review and reject
guidelines it determines to be contrary to the purposes of this
section.
(1) In reviewing guidelines, the coordinating board
shall give consideration to differing needs of each institution and
desirability of this program being used to aid students who may have
demonstrable financial need but be ineligible for other aid
programs.
(2) If the coordinating board rejects guidelines
adopted by a governing board, it shall provide a written
explanation of such rejection and promulgate regulations allowing
governing boards to appeal such rejection.
