13-55A-12. Need-based matching program.
The Board of Regents is further authorized to establish a South Dakota need-based matching program. Any postsecondary institution eligible to participate in the program established under §13-55A-1 may apply to the executive director once it has accumulated funding equal to three times the total need-based award. When an award is made, the board may distribute such monies at the rate of one dollar of the sum appropriated in this chapter for every three dollars of private funding held and allocated to need-based financial aid by the participating institution. The Board of Regents may accept gifts, grants, and contributions, public or private, that will facilitate the education of South Dakota students pursuant to this chapter.
