the extent funds are available for the purpose, to financially needy part-time and
full-time undergraduate students, including students enrolled in a program of study
designated as an equivalent undergraduate program of study by the Council on
Postsecondary Education in an administrative regulation. Grants shall be awarded
only to students enrolled or accepted for enrollment at participating institutions
located within the Commonwealth. Grants under this section shall be awarded only
for attendance in a program of study of at least two (2) academic years' duration.
