Subject: Vaccine Incentive clarifications

Here's the results of my conversation with Dave Stolier this afternoon.

Vaccine Incentive Questions/Issues

  *   Definition of "residency"
     *   Based on Governor's public health intent to incentivize a large number of vaccinations, a broader definition of "residency" than in RCW 28B.15.012 can make sense. It would be better if all colleges used the same basis for their definition.
        *   One suggestion: "For purposes of the Vaccine Incentive Scholarship, a resident is a someone whose domicile has been in the State of Washington for at least 30 days before the date of award of the Scholarship."
        *   A "winning" student did not have to qualify for in-state tuition in the Spring and could still be a "resident" for the purposes of the Incentive.
     *   That definition could apply to foreign students who continued to live in WA.
  *   Running Start
     *   Based on Governor's public health intent to incentivize a large number of vaccinations, and the FDA emergency approval of COVID vaccines for persons aged 12 and up, Running Start students can be eligible for this Scholarship.
  *   Disclaimer/Claim Form
     *   It would be good to have both a disclaimer on promotional materials and to have the receiving students sign an acceptance form related to the potential effect of this award on Federal Financial Aid and/or Public Assistance
        *   For Promo Materials: "Acceptance of a Vaccine Incentive Award may affect a student's eligibility for and calculated amounts of Federal Financial Aid and/or Public Assistance Programs."
        *   Claim Form: "By accepting this $XXXX Vaccine Incentive Award, I understand that my eligibility for and calculated amounts of Federal Financial Aid and/or Public Assistance Programs may be affected."
