STUDENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Overview

RULE:

6A-20.060	Nursing Scholarship Program Application
6A-20.061	Nursing Scholarship Program Scholarship Repayment (Repealed)
6A-20.062	Nursing Scholarship Program Penalties for Defaulting (Repealed)
6A-20.063	Payment of Scholarship Funds (Repealed)
6A-20.064	Placement of Nursing Scholars (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this amendment is to align Rule 6A-20.060 with Section 1009.67, Florida Statutes and incorporate pertinent information from Rules 6A-20.061, 6A-20.062, 6A-20.063 and 6A-20.064. Rules 6A-20.061, 6A-20.062, 6A-20.063 and 6A-20.064 are proposed for repeal.  The effect will be one rule consistent with governing law.

SUMMARY:

The purpose of the Nursing Student Loan Forgiveness Program is to attract capable and promising students to the nursing profession. In 2012, the Florida Legislature transferred administrative responsibility for the program to the Florida Department of Education from the Florida Department of Health. Rule 6A-20.060, will clarify the following: a completed Nursing Student Scholarship Application, form NS1, and a signed, notarized and dated Nursing Scholarship Program Agreement, form NS2, are required; within 10 working days of receipt of notice of a scholarship award, the scholar must return a notarized affidavit of agreement; and that eligible health care employment facilities are provided. Rules 6A-20.061, 6A-20.062, 6A-20.063 and 6A-20.064, are being proposed for repeal. Much of the content in these rules has been superseded by implementation changes resulting from the transfer of the program to the Florida Department of Education and Rule 6A-20.064, FAC., Placement of Nursing Scholars, exceeds the scope of the statute.
