DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY

Office of Student Financial Assistance
Scholarship/Grant ProgramsEarly Start Program
Award Amount (LAC 28:IV.1401)
The Louisiana Student Financial Assistance Commission (LASFAC) is exercising the emergency provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act [R.S. 49:953(B)] to amend and re-promulgate the rules of the Scholarship/Grant programs (R.S. 17:3021-3025, R.S. 3041.10-3041.15, and R.S. 17:3042.1.1-3042.8, R.S. 17:3048.1, R.S. 56:797.D(2)).
This rulemaking will amend Section 1405 of LASFAC’s Scholarship/Grants rules for the Early Start Program to provide a different award amount for students enrolled at Louisiana Technical College campuses beginning with the spring semester of 2011.
This Emergency Rule is necessary to implement changes to the Scholarship/Grant programs to allow the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance and state educational institutions to effectively administer these programs. A delay in promulgating rules would have an adverse impact on the financial welfare of the eligible students and the financial condition of their families. LASFAC has determined that these emergency rules are necessary in order to prevent imminent financial peril to the welfare of the affected students.
This Declaration of Emergency is effective November 30, 2010, and shall remain in effect for the maximum period allowed under the Administrative Procedure Act. (SG11127E)
