        Introduced by M. of A. CAHILL -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Higher Education
 
        AN  ACT  to  amend  the education law, in relation to World trade center
          memorial scholarships
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 

     1    Section 1. Subparagraph 4 of paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of section
     2  668-d of the education law, as added by chapter 176 of the laws of 2002,
     3  is amended to read as follows:
     4    (4)  "Non-tuition  cost  of  attendance", as used in this subdivision,
     5  shall mean: (i) the actual amount charged by the  institution  for  room
     6  and  board, and (ii) an allowance for transportation, books and supplies
     7  as determined by the president and as approved by the  director  of  the
     8  budget,  provided  that  such  determination shall be made no later than
     9  December first of each year for use in the succeeding academic year.  In
    10  the event a student does not incur room or board charges at the institu-
    11  tion,  "non-tuition cost of attendance" shall mean an allowance for room
    12  and board as determined by the president and approved by the director of

    13  the budget.  A student shall not be required, as a condition of  receiv-
    14  ing  the non-tuition cost of attendance, to apply for on-campus housing,
    15  nor shall the amount of non-tuition cost of attendance decrease  because
    16  the  student  does not apply for or receive on-campus housing; provided,
    17  however that the  amount  of  non-tuition  cost  of  attendance  may  be
    18  decreased  for  a student who does not live in on-campus housing if such
    19  student's parent or parents reside within reasonable commuting distance,
    20  or if their off-campus residence is owned in  whole  or  in  part  by  a
    21  direct relation including a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling or
    22  cousin.  In  determining  allowances  pursuant to this subparagraph, the

    23  president may take into consideration the allowances provided for in the
    24  Pell grant program.
    25    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
