(b) Furthermore, it is the intent of the general assembly that these funds eventually be used to increase financial assistance to Rhode Island students in the form of scholarships and grants as approved by the commissioner of postsecondary education and as directed by the U.S. Department of Education and in accordance with federal statutes and regulations governing the use of funds in the guaranty agency’s operating fund pursuant to the provisions and restrictions of the 1998 reauthorization of the federal Higher Education Act.
