school student benefit account. Advisory committee established. There is established
an advisory committee to the Commissioner of Higher Education consisting of seven
members appointed by the commissioner, including a representative of the private occupational schools, a representative from the Department of Higher Education and five
members chosen from business or industry, state legislators, private occupational school
alumni and the general public. Three of the members first appointed to the committee
shall be appointed for a term of three years and four of the members first appointed shall
be appointed for a term of two years. Thereafter, all members shall be appointed for a
term of two years. The Commissioner of Higher Education shall administer the private
occupational school student benefit account with the advice of the advisory committee
and may assess the account for all direct expenses incurred in the implementation of
this section. The account shall be used to award financial aid grants for the benefit of
private occupational school students. The grants shall be paid to the private occupational
school designated by the grant recipient to be applied against the tuition expenses of
such recipient. If the balance of the student protection account is five per cent or less
of the annual net tuition income of the schools which make payments to the account
pursuant to section 10a-22u, any unallocated funds in the student benefit account shall
be transferred to the student protection account.
