Kansas Statutes Chapter 74. State Boards, Commissions and Authorities § 74-32,123. Same; payment of grants; certification of student enrollment and eligibility; disposition of amounts

(a) A Kansas comprehensive grant may be paid annually for both the fall and spring semesters, or the equivalent thereof. Payments under any such grant shall be allocated equally between the semesters, when the student plans to attend two semesters in an academic year, and otherwise as specified by the board of regents. Kansas comprehensive grants shall be paid at the beginning of each semester or other term upon certification by the Kansas educational institution that the student is enrolled and is a Kansas student. Payments of Kansas comprehensive grants shall be made pursuant to vouchers approved by the administrative officer of the board of regents designated by the board upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports. Payments of Kansas comprehensive grants may be made by the issuance of a single warrant to each Kansas educational institution at which a Kansas student is enrolled for the total amount of grants for all Kansas students enrolled at that institution. The director of accounts and reports shall cause such warrant to be delivered to the Kansas educational institution at which such student or students are enrolled. Upon receipt of such warrant, the amount thereof shall be credited to the Kansas comprehensive grant fund of the Kansas educational institution and allocated within the fund to the account of each Kansas student enrolled at that institution. The amount to be credited to the account of each such student shall be specified by the board of regents.

(b) If a student discontinues attendance before the end of any semester or other term, after the Kansas educational institution has received payment under this section, the institution shall debit the account of the student by an amount equal to the entire amount which such student would otherwise qualify to have refunded, not to exceed the amount credited to the account of the student under the Kansas comprehensive grant program at the beginning of such semester or term and, if the student has received payments under any federal program of student assistance in the semester or other term, less an amount equal to the pro rata share of such entire amount which is attributable to the assistance received by the student under such federal program or programs.

(c) All amounts debited by a Kansas educational institution under subsection (b) shall be reallocated within the Kansas comprehensive grant fund of the institution to the account of other eligible Kansas students as specified by the board of regents.
