The Paul Douglas Teacher Scholarship Program is a federally-funded State administered program.
Federal legislation in Tide V, Part D of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended), and federal
regulations in 34 CFR 653 are quite specific in many points. Because of that specificity, the State
regulations found in 1640-1-11 do not repeat all of the federal provisions. Therefore, the full
administrative reference for the program requires consulting all three documents.

In the event of a conflict between the State regulations and the regulations or legislation of the federal
government regarding this program, the federal provisions will prevail. However, each provision of
the State regulations shall be considered severally, so that a conflict in one point shall not affect the
applicability of the remainder of the State regulations.
