§ 396.956. Regulations

1. The Board of Regents: (a) Shall adopt regulations prescribing the procedures and standards for determining

the eligibility of a student for a grant from the Program. (b) Shall adopt regulations prescribing the methodology by which the Board of Regents

or a designee thereof will calculate: (1) The cost of education of a student at each community college and state college

within the System, which must be consistent with the provisions of 20 U.S.C. § 1087ll . (2) For each student, the amounts of the student contribution, family contribution

and federal contribution to the cost of education of the student. (3) The maximum amount of the grant for which a student is eligible. (c) Shall adopt regulations prescribing the process by which each student may meet

the credit-hour requirement described in NRS 396.952 for eligibility for a grant awarded under the Program. (d) May adopt any other regulations necessary to carry out the Program. 2. The regulations prescribed pursuant to this section must provide that: (a) In determining the student contribution to the cost of education, the student

contribution must not exceed the amount that the Board of Regents determines the student

reasonably could be expected to earn from employment during the time the student is

enrolled at a community college or state college within the System, including, without

limitation, during breaks between semesters. This paragraph and any regulations adopted pursuant to this section must not be

construed to require a student to seek or obtain employment as a condition of eligibility

for a grant under the Program. (b) Determination of the family contribution to the cost of education must be based

on the family resources reported in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or,

if the student is prohibited by law from completing the Free Application for Federal

Student Aid and the Board of Regents prescribes an alternative determination for financial

aid pursuant to subsection 6 of NRS 396.952 , the alternative determination for financial aid submitted by the student. (c) Determination of the federal contribution to the cost of education must be equal

to the total amount that the student and his or her family are expected to receive

from the Federal Government as grants.
