RULE:

6A-20.0283

Florida Farmworker Student Scholarship Program

PURPOSE:

To establish a State Board of Education rule to set forth requirements surrounding the Florida Farmworker Student Scholarship Program, including student eligibility, school district and postsecondary institution reporting, as well as, priority for scholarship awards.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule provides that a farmworker or a child of a farmworker is eligible to apply for a scholarship if the student has a 3.5 GPA, has a 90 percent high school attendance rate, no disciplinary actions while in high school and completed community service hours. The student must file a Financial Aid application and be enrolled a minimum of hours in a postsecondary institution.  The rule establishes academic and non-academic requirements for renewal of the scholarship.  Priority for scholarships is to student renewals and then initial applicants, with those with the least family contribution having priority. The proposed rule also provides the means for non-public secondary schools to register so that a student attending such an institution can receive the scholarship.
