A tuition scholarship for up to full tuition for an academic term may be awarded by the chief administrative officer or a duly designated representative at any State-operated unit of State University for any enrolled graduate student holding an appointment at that unit as a fellow or intern.

(2) A tuition scholarship for up to full tuition for an academic term may be awarded by the chief administrative officer or a duly designated representative at any State-operated unit of State University for any enrolled graduate student who qualifies on the basis of merit pursuant to guidelines established by the chancellor, or designee.

(3) A tuition scholarship for up to full tuition for an academic term may be awarded by the chief administrative officer or a duly designated representative at any State-operated unit of State University for a full-time student who is a resident of the State of New York, regularly enrolled in a degree-granting graduate or professional program, based upon the demonstrated financial need of such a student, where the student has been initially determined to be eligible or otherwise meets the income eligibility requirements for a maximum tuition assistance program (TAP) award according to articles 13 and 14 of the Education Law.

(4) A tuition scholarship for up to full tuition for an academic term may be awarded by the chief administrative officer or a duly designated representative at any State-operated unit of State University for a full-time student enrolled in an undergraduate program who is designated as an Honors Scholar pursuant to guidelines established by the chancellor or a designee.

(5) A tuition scholarship for up to full tuition, including charges authorized by section 302.13 of this Part, for an academic term may be awarded by the chief administrative officer or a duly designated representative at any State-operated unit of State University for a full-time student who is a resident of the State of New York regularly enrolled in a post-baccalaureate program, provided such student is:

(c) Students described in subdivision (b) of this section who are eligible for New York State tuition assistance program awards must apply for these benefits. The amount of tuition scholarship for which a student may be eligible will be determined by the amount by which the tuition for the program of instruction in which the student is enrolled exceeds the amount, if any, which the student is entitled to receive under the tuition assistance program and any tuition paid or payable under the terms of any grant or contract.
