to receive a scholarship:
(1) While enrolled
in fewer semester credit hours than required in §
22.288 of this subchapter
(relating to Eligible Students);
(2) If the Scholar fails to meet the
satisfactory academic progress requirements of §
22.288 of this subchapter;
or
(3) If the scholar requires an
extension of the limits found in §
22.294(b) of
this subchapter (relating to Discontinuation of Eligibility or Non-Eligibility)
to complete his or her degree.
(b) Hardship conditions may include:
(1) Documentation of a serious
health/condition that makes the Scholar unable to attend school or complete
academic study;
(2) Documentation
that the Scholar is responsible for the care of a child, spouse, or parent who
has a serious health condition, sick, injured, or and that the scholar's
provision of care may affect his or her academic performance;

for a period of no longer than one year.
(d) Documentation of the hardship
circumstances approved for a Scholar to receive a scholarship must be kept in
the Scholar's files, and the institution must identify Scholars approved for a
scholarship based on a hardship to the Coordinating Board, so that it may
appropriately monitor each Scholar's period of eligibility.
(e) Eligible institutions shall adopt a
hardship policy under this section, share such policy with Scholars and have
the policy available in the financial aid office for public review upon
request.
