last sentence of Art. 77A, §57(f).

The only changes are in style.

The first sentence of present Art. 77A, §57(f),
which provides that an applicant may apply to any
eligible institution is deleted as inconsistent
with the requirements of §18—302(b) of this
subtitle which requires acceptance before an
award is made.

The second sentence of present Art. 77A, §57(f),
which permits institutions to reject applicants
who fail to meet admission standards is deleted
as unnecessary in light of the similar provisions
of §18-103 of this title.
