Upon request by an institution throughout the academic year, the Coordinating Board shall forward to each participating eligible institution a portion of its allocation of funds for timely disbursement to Scholars. Each participating eligible institution shall have until the close of business on August 1, or the first working day thereafter if it falls on a weekend or holiday, to encumber program funds from their allocation. After that date, an institution may lose any funds in the current fiscal year not yet drawn down from the Coordinating Board for timely disbursement to Scholars. Funds released in this manner are deemed returned to the Coordinating Board.
