A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FUNDS TO QUALIFYING NORTH CAROLINA A&T GRADUATES WHO ENTER GRADUATE ARCHITECTURE PROGRAMS AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina $30,000 for the 1990-91 fiscal year, to provide scholarship funds for qualified graduates of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University who enter graduate study programs in architecture at North Carolina State University.  The funds appropriated under this section shall be allocated as follows: $5,000 for each of six qualified students in fiscal year 1990-91.  Funds appropriated under this section shall be limited to a maximum of three students entering the first year of the graduate program per year.  If less than three students enter the program at the first year level in fiscal year 1990-91, the unused funds shall revert to the General Fund.
Sec. 2. Students eligible for scholarship funds under this act shall either (i) have been a resident of North Carolina at the time the student entered North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, or (ii) if the student was not a resident of North Carolina at the time the student entered North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, eligibility for scholarship funds under this act shall be conditioned upon the student's agreement to work in North Carolina for at least three years following the student's graduation from the graduate program.  If the nonresident qualifying student fails to complete three years of work in North Carolina following graduation from the graduate program, the student shall repay the scholarship funds he received, such repayment to be calculated on the following basis: if the student completes two years of work following graduation, the student shall repay one-half of the scholarship funds received by the student; if the student completes less than two years of work in North Carolina, the student shall repay the entire amount of scholarship funds received by the student.
Sec. 3. The Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina shall promulgate the rules necessary to carry out the provisions of this act.
Sec. 4. This act shall become effective July 1, 1990.
