(a) The total annual amount of financial assistance
that an eligible student may receive from the ETV Program is determined
by the following criteria:
(1) The amount of financial assistance is limited to
the lesser of $5,000 or the total cost of attendance, as allowable
under §472 of the federal Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. §1087ll ).
(2) The amount of educational assistance to a student
under the ETV Program and any other federal or federally supported
program must not exceed the total cost of attendance, as defined in §472
of the federal Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. §1087ll ).
(3) Financial assistance provided under the ETV Program
cannot duplicate benefits provided under any other federal or federally
supported program.
(4) If a student is eligible for the state exemption
from payment of tuition and fees, under Texas Education Code §54.366, §54.367,
or any other tuition waiver exemption and is attending an institution
where that exemption applies, the student may not receive financial
assistance under the ETV Program for the cost of tuition and fees.
(b) ETV funds can only be used to pay for the category
of expenses as allowable under §472 of the federal Higher Education
Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. §1087ll )
and applicable federal guidance, if the student will incur such costs.
