	214	+	1 A public university campus is not required to claim its

	216	+	3 public universities, on a date determined by the Commission,
	217	+	4 any unclaimed funds and the funds must be made available to
	218	+	5 those public university campuses in the proportion determined

	222	+	9 Each public university campus may determine the award
	223	+	10 amounts for eligible students on an individual or broad basis,
	224	+	11 but, subject to renewal eligibility, each renewed award may
	225	+	12 not be less than the amount awarded to the eligible student in
	226	+	13 his or her first year attending the public university campus.
	227	+	14 Notwithstanding this limitation, a renewal grant may be
	228	+	15 reduced due to changes in the student's cost of attendance,
	229	+	16 including, but not limited to, if a student reduces the number
	230	+	17 of credit hours in which he or she is enrolled, but remains a
