RULE ANALYSIS

Summary of the rule or change:
Changes to this rule include distinction between applicant and recipient, clarification of requirements for home-schooled applicants, and GPA requirements. Beyond the base award, this amendment addresses funding and enrollment requirements for the Exemplary Academic Achievement award. Award amounts will be determined each year by the Board of Regents based on legislative funding and number of applicants. Section R765-609-9 has been added to outline rules for completing course work that would qualify an applicant for this scholarship.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
- Section 53B-8-108
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
Implementation of these changes will allow awarding of scholarships to conform with annual funding of the program as provided by the Utah legislature. There are no additional costs to the state budget as a result of these amendments to Rule R765-604. Without the amendments of this rule, there would be potential for additional costs to fund scholarships beyond what could be anticipated each year. This amendment provides direction to assure that awards do not exceed the amount of annual allocations.
local governments:
There are no local government costs nor savings from this amendment as this rule does not apply to local governments.
small businesses:
Since this rule only applies to individuals who may be eligible for scholarship funds there are no costs nor savings to small businesses.
persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:
This rule affects potential awardees of Regents' Scholarship funds. There are no compliance costs to these individuals as the scholarship requires academic eligibility. There are no direct savings for any individual. Indirect savings may be anticipated by qualifying students who choose to attend an eligible institution and receive funds from this program to reduce the total amount of their tuition charges.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
Persons eligible for Regents' Scholarship funds will have no costs as a result of implementation of this rule change. There are no compliance costs associated with this rule for any individual, affected person, or entity, or any aspect of this rule.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
There are no fiscal impacts to businesses from this rule since it only applies to high school students who wish to apply for scholarship funds through the Regents' Scholarship program.
