| IL | Signed into law 07/2012 | Postsec. | Amends provisions regarding scholarships for foster youth. Former language limited scholarship eligibility to children under care, or children formerly under care who have been adopted or in the subsidized guardianship program. New language replaces references to "children" with "youth," replaces reference to "subsidized guardianship program" with "in guardianship placement," and explicitly extends scholarship eligibility to youth who aged out of care at age 18 or older. Former language required eligible scholarship candidates to have completed 4 years in an accredited high school. New language requires scholarship candidates to have earned a high school diploma from a public school district or a recognized nonpublic school or a certificate of general education development (GED), or who have met the state criteria for high school graduation. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/97/SB/PDF/09700SB2818lv.pdf

| CA | Signed into law 06/2012 | Postsec. | From sections 45, 47, 48 of bill summary: Commencing with the 2013–14 award year, sets maximum tuition award amounts for Cal Grant A and B awards for new recipients attending private for-profit and nonprofit postsecondary educational institutions. Requires the renewal award amount for a student whose initial award is subject to one of those maximum award amounts to be calculated pursuant to specified law. Existing Cal Grant Program prohibits an applicant from receiving one or a combination of Cal Grant awards in excess of a specified amount and from obtaining a baccalaureate degree before receiving a Cal Grant award,
except in the case of Cal Grant T awards (http://www.csac.ca.gov/doc.asp?id=103). New provisions remove the exception for Cal Grant T awards and allow a recipient who initially qualified for both a Cal Grant A award and a Cal Grant B award, and received a Cal Grant B award, to be awarded a renewal Cal Grant A award if that recipient subsequently became ineligible for a renewal Cal Grant B award and meets the applicable Cal Grant A financial need and income and asset criteria. Existing Cal Grant Program provisions entitle a student transfering from a California community college to a qualifying baccalaureate-granting institution to receive a Cal Grant A or B award if the student meets specified criteria. New provisions additionally require that student to have attended a California community college in the academic year immediately preceding the academic year for which the award will be used; provides exceptions.

Effective the 2012–13 academic year, makes an otherwise qualifying institution ineligible
for an initial or renewal Cal Grant award at the institution if the institution has a graduation rate of 30% or less for students taking 150% or less of the expected time to complete degree requirements, with certain
exceptions. Also requires the student aid commission to annually certify by October 1 the institution's latest graduation rate as reported by the U.S. Department of Education. Requires the commission to provide specified notifications and information to initial and renewal Cal Grant recipients seeking to attend, or attending, an institution that is ineligible for initial and renewal Cal Grant awards under these provisions.

| CO | Signed into law 06/2012 | Postsec. | Allows the Colorado commission on higher education to take into account the rigor of a student's high school courses in establishing academic
admission standards for state institutions of higher education. Directs the commission to ensure the remedial education policy is aligned with the
academic admission standards, and therefore allows multiple measures for admissions and course placement. In setting the standards for remedial
education, the commission may differentiate the mathematics requirements based on a student's chosen area of study. While only certain institutions
may provide remedial courses, the commission may authorize other institutions to provide supplemental academic instruction for students who enroll
in credit-bearing courses but are identified as having limited skill deficiencies.
Under current law, the commission is charged with recommending a performance funding model for institutions. The bill directs the commission, in
preparing its recommendations, to analyze the effects of differentiated Colorado opportunity fund (COF) stipend amounts and of limiting the funding
for credit hours taken in excess of a certain limit. The bill lowers the existing lifetime limit on eligibility for COF stipends, and a student cannot receive
a COF stipend for any course for which the student has received an incomplete 2 or more times.

| TX | Adopted 05/2012 | Postsec. | Amends provisions for Scholarships for Students Graduating in the Top 10 Percent of Their High School Class. From Texas Register:
--§22.197: Provides a better definition for the term "financial need" as used in this sub-chapter.
--§22.198: Lists requirements that must be met by institutions in order to participate or continue to participate in the program and repercussions for failure to do so. The requirements include such things as exercising no discrimination in the identification of award recipients, maintaining a current agreement with the Coordinating Board to abide by the rules and regulations of the program, notifying the Coordinating Board staff and their students if they are placed on probation by their accrediting agency, maintaining adequate records for the disbursement of funds to eligible students, and meeting all program reporting re-quirements in a timely manner. The repercussions for failure to follow program requirements include required refunds to the Coordinating Board of program funds and submission to program reviews.
--§22.199: Clarifies the requirements that stu-dents receiving an initial Top 10 Percent Scholarship award must meet, including: (1) graduation from a public or private high school in Texas while ranked in the top 10 percent of the grad-uating class; (2) submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in time to generate the Central Process-ing System (CPS) results in a non-rejected status or the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) to the financial aid office by the deadline set each year by the Coordinating Board; (3) full-time enrollment as of the census date; and (4) registration with Selective Service or being exempt from that registration.
--§22.200: Brings the section title more into alignment with its contents and revises subsection (c) to clarify that each year the Coordinating Board will establish a deadline by which students must submit their FAFSA or TASFA. Also clarifies that this deadline defines two "priority" levels of applicants. The Coordinating Board will process vouchers for students in the first "priority" level and then determine if additional funding is available to process vouchers for students in the second "priority" level. Obsolete language in subsection (c) was removed since high schools are no longer responsible for submitting to the Coordinating Board the names and addresses of potential award recipients. New language was added to indicate all awards are for the fall semester or terms only and that no student may receive more than four awards through the program.
--§22.201: Clarifies how students can qualify for continuation awards, which students can qualify for extensions to the four-year award limit, and the documentation that institutions must keep for students granted an extension. Also explains that completing a bachelor's degree terminates a student's eligibility to receive additional awards.
--§22.202: Clarifies the process by which institutions request funds from the Coordinating Board.

| TX | Adopted 02/2012 | Postsec. | Amends eligibility requirements for the Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program to clarify that students who have completed the equivalent of four years of ROTC training are eligible, if the institution awards ROTC credit for prior service in any branch of specified units. According to the February 24, 2012 Texas Register (page 50 http://www.sos.state.tx.us/texreg/pdf/backview/0224/0224adop.pdf), "the amendments align the section with current practices at institutions that award Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) credit to students based on their prior military service. Some students receive four years of ROTC credit without actually completing four years of ROTC training because of prior military service. These students will be allowed to qualify for awards through the Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program."
