A State Legislative Update, which was last updated on August 16, describes recent action taken on the budget for fiscal year 2011, which began on July 1, 2010.

ISAC has sent Notices of Disqualification to students who were identified in April as meeting eligibility requirements for the 2010-11 Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program, but have not submitted the Eligibility Certification form (which was due back to ISAC on July 15, 2010). The notices inform students that, if they wish to receive an award, ISAC must receive a letter of appeal and the completed form on or before September 20, 2010. If an Eligibility Certification form is not returned by the September 20 deadline, it will be assumed that the student is refusing the scholarship and eligibility will be forfeited.
