A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to provide that the legislative tuition grant shall be available for any person who attends a private institution of higher education if the person also qualifies for in‑state tuition under the provisions of chapter 116 of the general statutes.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 116‑22(2) reads as rewritten:
"(2)	"Student" shall mean a person enrolled in and attending an institution located in the State who qualifies as a resident of North Carolina in accordance with definitions of residency that may from time to time be adopted by the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina and published in the residency manual of said Board; and a person who has not received a bachelor's degree, or qualified therefor, and who is otherwise classified as an undergraduate under such regulations as the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina may promulgate. The enrollment figures required by G.S. 116‑19 through 116‑22 shall be the number of full‑time equivalent students as computed under regulations prescribed by the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina. Qualification for in‑State tuition under G.S. 116‑143.3 makes a person a "student" as defined in this subdivision. The term "student" as defined by this subdivision shall also include any other persons who qualify for in‑State tuition under the provisions of Chapter 116 of the General Statutes."
SECTION 2. This act becomes effective July 1, 2007.
