      74-32,188.   Same; establishment of program; student qualifications; amount and duration of awards. (a) There is hereby established the mathematics and science teacher service scholarship program. The number of new scholarships awarded each year shall not exceed 50. A scholarship may be awarded under such program to any qualified student and may be renewed for each such student who remains qualified for the scholarship. Determination of the students qualified for such scholarships shall be made by the executive officer. Scholastic ability shall be determined on the basis of cumulative college grade point average and any other indicator of scholastic ability which the state board of regents determines to be demonstrative of potential for successful completion of a course of instruction leading to licensure as a teacher. To the extent practicable and consistent with qualification factors, preference shall be given to students who have received at least 60 credit hours in an approved course of instruction leading to licensure as a teacher in the disciplines of mathematics or science for any of the grades six through 12.

      (b)   A scholarship awarded under the program shall provide for payment to a qualified student of $2500 each semester or its equivalent. A qualified student may be awarded a scholarship for not more than two academic years of study.
