(1) Data
are as of July 17, 2002
| A $39 million one-year expenditure increase boosted
the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) to a record $674.6 million.
TAP is the largest state-sponsored student grant program in the
nation. |
| Continued phase-in of program enrichments approved
by the Governor and Legislature in 2000, resulted in a two-year
growth of nearly $100 million in TAP expenditures, and almost 50,000
in FTE recipients. |
