D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 29, r. 29-7008
The institution shall determine the amount of the annual grant award for each student in accordance with the requirements of this section.
The amount of tuition assistance that will be provided to each eligible student enrolled in a public eligible institution shall be no more than the difference between the tuition and fees charged for in-State students and the tuition and fees charged for out-of-State students.
If the public eligible institution has an in-County rate in addition to an in State rate, the in-County rate, and not the in-State rate, will be used in making the calculation under § 7008.2.
For enrollment at public eligible institutions, the maximum amount of assistance that an eligible student may receive is not more than $10,000 for any unpaid tuition or fees for any one award year (as defined in § 481 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended ( 20 U.S.C. §1088)), and a lifetime total of not more than $50,000.
Students enrolled in a public eligible institution may receive the difference between in-State and out-of-State tuition and fees each payment period they are enrolled as long as they do not exceed the award year maximum of $10,000.
The amount of tuition assistance that will be provided to each eligible student enrolled full-time in a private non profit eligible institution shall be not more than $2,500 for any unpaid tuition or fees in one award year and a lifetime total of not more than $12,500.
For any payment period, the award shall be prorated for students attending private institutions and enrolled less than full time (less than 12 credit hours in a term or 24 clock hours per week) in the following manner:
Students who attend an eligible institution on less than a half-time basis are not eligible for the grant.
If the school's academic calendar contains nonstandard terms, i.e., terms other than semesters, trimesters, or quarters, the school shall determine the student's enrollment status for each nonstandard term in accordance with the calculation found in 34 C.F.R. §690.63(d)(1)(ii) (1999), as may be amended from time to time.
The annual award shall not result in the student receiving financial assistance for tuition and fees that exceeds the student's cost for tuition and fees.
The tuition assistance provided under this Chapter shall apply only to tuition and fees:
The institution shall ensure that the amount of the annual award to an eligible student under this chapter supplements, and does not supplant, the amount of grant aid that would otherwise be provided to the student.
If adding aid under this Chapter would make the student's total aid package exceed the cost of tuition and fees, the institution shall use the funds under this Chapter to reduce the student's (federal and nonfederal) loans and work-study only to the extent that the loans and work-study would be used to pay for tuition and fees.
