during the academic year. A high school shall report the grade point average of an
eligible high school student pursuant to KRS 164.7874 by January 15 following the
end of the fall academic term in which the student completed the high school
graduation requirements. The list shall identify the high school and shall contain
each high school student's name, Social Security number, address, grade point
average for the academic year, expected or actual graduation date, highest ACT
score, family eligibility status for free or reduced-price lunch, and each AP or IB
examination score. The Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky
shall report the data on its students to the authority. The list need not contain the
ACT, AP, or IB if the authority receives the scores directly from the testing
services. The authority shall notify each eligible high school student of his or her
Kentucky educational excellence scholarship award earned each academic year. The
authority shall determine the final Kentucky educational excellence scholarship and
supplemental award based upon the actual final grade point average, highest ACT
score, and qualifying AP or IB scores and shall notify each eligible twelfth-grade
high school student of the final determination. The authority shall make available a
list of eligible high school and postsecondary students to participating institutions. (2) The authority shall provide data access only to participating institutions that have either received an admission application from an eligible high school or
postsecondary student or have been listed by the eligible high school or
postsecondary student on the Free Application For Federal Student Aid. (3) For each eligible postsecondary student enrolling in a participating institution after July 1, 1999, the participating institution shall verify to the authority:
(a) The student's initial eligibility for a Kentucky educational excellence scholarship, Kentucky educational excellence scholarship and supplemental
award, or supplemental award only pursuant to KRS 164.7879(3)(d) through
the comprehensive list compiled by the authority or an alternative source
satisfactory to the authority; (b) The student's highest ACT score attained by the date of graduation from high school, provided that the participating institution need not report the ACT
score if the authority receives the ACT score directly from the testing services; (c) The eligible postsecondary student's full-time or part-time enrollment status at the beginning of each academic term; and (d) The eligible postsecondary student's cumulative grade point average after the completion of each award period. (4) Each participating institution shall submit to the authority a report, in a form satisfactory to the authority, of all eligible postsecondary students enrolled for that
academic term. Kentucky educational excellence scholarships and supplemental awards shall be disbursed by the authority to each eligible postsecondary student
attending a participating institution during the academic term within thirty (30) days
after receiving a satisfactory report. (5) The Kentucky educational excellence scholarship and the supplemental award shall not be reduced, except as provided in KRS 164.7881(4). (6) Kentucky educational excellence scholarships and supplemental awards shall not be awarded or disbursed to any eligible postsecondary students who are:
