METHOD OF ASCERTAINING GRANT FOR 1977 IN RESPECT OF A STUDENT RESIDENCE OR AN AFFILIATED COLLEGE
- In relation to each college of advanced education providing collegiate accommodation at a student residence or at student residences, there is payable under section 7 (1) to the State in which the college of advanced education is situated, in respect of the year 1977—
(a) an amount equal to the sum of $8,231 and the amount ascertained by multiplying $128 by the number of resident full-time students at that student residence, or those student residences, as the case may be; or
(b) an amount ascertained by multiplying $291 by the number of resident full-time students at that student residence, or those student residences, as the case may be,
whichever is the lesser amount.
-
In relation to each affiliated college of advanced education, there is payable under sub-section 7 (1) to the State in which the college of advanced education is situated an amount ascertained by multiplying the basic grant in respect of that affiliated college by the number of resident full-time students at that affiliated college.
-
For the purpose of paragraph 2, the basic grant in respect of an affiliated college is—
(a) if the number of resident full-time students at the college is less than 50—$291;
(b) if the number of resident full-time students at the college is more than 49 but less than 75—$291 reduced by $2.20 for each student by which that number of students exceeds 50;
(c) if the number of resident full-time students at the college is more than 74 but less than 100—$236 reduced by $1.10 for each student by which that number of students exceeds 75;
(d) if the number of resident full-time students at the college is more than 99—$209 reduced by $0.18 for each student by which that number of students exceeds 100.
- Where a student residence or affiliated college or a part of such a residence or college was not in use during the whole of the academic year comprised in the year 1977, the Commission may determine that an amount payable under sub-section 7 (1) in respect of that year in relation to that residence or college shall be such part only of the amount that would otherwise be payable as the Commission thinks appropriate.
