Student Housing Program
Participant Agreement
The Student Housing Program assists qualified participants with rental assistance during
their full-time attendance in an accredited college, university, or trade school, and pursuing a
degree/certificate. Kenaitze/Salamatof TDHE (TDHE) will continue providing assistance
throughout the current academic calendar year provided the student meets the program
requirements and continues to be a qualified low-income Alaska Native/American Indian
household with established residency in the TDHE jurisdiction (Kenai, Soldotna, Nikiski,
Sterling, and Kasilof north of the Kasilof River) and submits all requested documentation
throughout the school year in a timely manner as determined by the housing staff. Required
documentation may include, but shall not be limited to: a copy of official transcripts, lease
agreement, income verifications, and/or proof of enrollment.
I,
(Participant) understand that I will be required to submit
proof of full-time enrollment (12+ credits) before the beginning of each term. Failure to
submit required documentation will result in assistance being suspended. After proof is
provided assistance will continue on a prorated scale from the date the required
documentation was submitted to the TDHE. If at any point during the school year
Participant falls below 12 credits, he/she must report it to the TDHE IMMEDIATELY.
Failure to report student status change may result in future ineligibility and required payback
for assistance provided during Participant’s ineligibility period.
In addition, I,
(Participant) understand that I will be allowed
one month from the end of the term to provide proof of maintaining a 2.0 GPA or higher to
the housing staff. The TDHE shall provide assistance only after proof has been received
and the assistance amount will be provided on a prorated scale based on when the
documentation was submitted to the TDHE. If Participant drops below the minimum 2.0
GPA requirement the Participant will be placed on academic probation. Academic
probation will require the Participant to bring his/her GPA up to the required standard or
assistance will be cancelled.
Finally, I,
(Participant) understand that if there are any
income changes he/she is required to report and submit verification(s) within ten (10)
business days after the change has occurred. Failure to submit the required paperwork in a
timely manner will result in academic probation and Participant may be required to payback
a portion of the assistance.
By singing below Participant understands and agrees to the terms listed above.
