Any student enrolled in a school entity who meets the qualifications set forth in the Concurrent Enrollment Agreement may enroll in dual enrollment courses as part of a dual enrollment program.

III . Maximum Tuition in the Approved Cost:

The school entity and postsecondary institution will agree on an approved cost for each 3-credit course in their Concurrent Enrollment Agreement including allowable tuition, fees, books, and transportation. The allowable tuition is that which is charged to the school entity for each 3-credit course, which cannot exceed:  

For any two-year institution or eligible private licensed school:

The advertised tuition rate charged by the institution for enrolled students.  

For any four-year public or private institution or eligible private licensed school:

The tuition charged by the State System of Higher Education for enrolled students. A student may not enroll in more than 24 postsecondary credits in any school year. 

For the 2009-2010 school year, this amount is $231 per credit for students enrolled in under 12 credits.  Most core classes (excluding those that offer a laboratory) are 3 credit courses.  For a 3-credit course, this is $693 per course in 2009-10.  (Please note: the maximum of $231 per credit may change in spring 2010. This amount will be based on the rate established by Pennsylvania State System for Higher Education (PASSHE) at that time.)

IV. Grant Award Formula:

The funding to be awarded to each eligible school entity is to be determined as follows:

	School entity’s market value/income aid ratio
+	0.425
	------------------------------------------- (Subtotal)
X	Sum of total approved costs for each of the school entity’s dual enrollment students
	--------------------------------------------------------
=	TOTAL ELIGIBLE GRANT AWARD

V. Supplemental grants:

Supplemental grants:

Supplemental grants are available to any school entity that has applied for grant funds and has at least one low-income dual enrollment student.  The supplemental grant will equal the cost of tuition, books and fees for which low-income dual enrollment students are responsible in order to enroll in a dual enrollment course.  For the 2009-10 school year, $1.76 million is targeted to support low-income students.

For the purpose of this program, a low-income student is a member of a household with an annual household income less than or equal to 150% of the federal income poverty guidelines. Based on the 2009 poverty guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the following thresholds will be used to determine eligibility for supplemental grants.
