commission shall use a portion of any money remaining after meeting the
requirements of this part 4 and parts 2 and 3 of this article 3.3 to provide a work-study program of employment of qualifying students in good standing with the
institution in which they are enrolled in positions that are directly under the control
of the institution in which the student is enrolled or in positions with nonprofit
organizations, governmental agencies, or for-profit organizations with which the
institution may execute student employment contracts.

(2) Any in-state student who is enrolled or accepted for enrollment at an
institution as an undergraduate may qualify for participation in the work-study
program established pursuant to this section.

(3) Funds appropriated to the commission may also be used by the
commission in conjunction with and to supplement funds for current job
opportunities or to supplement or match funds made available through any other
public or private program for financial assistance. A sum not to exceed thirty
percent of the funds allocated by the commission for the work-study program may
be used to provide funding on a basis other than financial need. A sum of not less
than seventy percent of such money shall be used for students demonstrating
financial need.

(4) Institutions of higher education that are eligible for the work-study
program may use work-study program money to cover the costs of work-based

Funding used for the purposes of this subsection (4) is exempt from the
requirements to use a student employment contract.
