Commission Comment: 3 CMC § 1304 creates the Northern Marianas College as a nonprofit public corporation, under the general control and direction of the Board of Regents of the Northern Marianas College. See also 3 CMC § 1311. The Board of Regents is authorized to review eligibility based on established policy or criteria and to establish awards for all publicly funded financial assistance for post-secondary education of Commonwealth students within the Commonwealth. 3 CMC § 1316(d). PL 7-32 (effective June 20, 1991), the “Postsecondary Education Scholarship Act of 1990,” codified as amended at 3 CMC §§ 1341-1343, created annual scholarships for CNMI high school graduates to attend accredited colleges or universities in the Commonwealth or the United States. See 3 CMC § 1342. PL 14-37 (effective Oct. 22, 2004), the “CNMI Honor Scholarship Act of 2004,” repealed and reenacted 3 CMC §§ 1341 and 1342. See PL 14-37 § 3. The act continues the original scholarship program with clarifications as to who is eligible for the awards. 3 CMC § 1343 authorizes the Northern Marianas College Board of Regents to administer the provisions of the act and promulgate necessary regulations. Executive Order 94-3 (effective August 23, 1994) reorganized the Commonwealth government executive branch, changed agency names and official titles and effected numerous other revisions. According to Executive Order 94-3 § 211: Section 211. Scholarships. (a) All functions of the Northern Marianas College Board of Regents relating to student scholarships, except those donated, bequeathed, or granted to the College by parties outside the Commonwealth Government, are transferred to the Office of the Governor.
TITLE 75: OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR (b) There is hereby established in the Office of the Governor a Scholarship Advisory Board consisting of nine members who shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Governor. At least two of the members shall be from Tinian, and at least two from Rota. Not more than five of the board members shall be associated with a single political party. The Board shall review applications for scholarships and make recommendations to the Governor with respect thereto. The Board shall also recommend objective standards for the award of scholarships. The provisions of [PL 8-41] shall not apply to the Board. (c) As used in this section, the term “scholarships” includes student grants, student loans, and other programs of student financial assistance. The full text of Executive Order 94-3 is set forth in the commission comment to 1 CMC § 2001. The May 2005 amendments repealed and re-promulgated this subchapter in its entirety. On February 20, 2009, the Commonwealth Supreme Court ruled that the regulations in this chapter failed to implement the statutorily-mandated criteria set forth in 3 CMC § 1342(b), and issued the following order: The scholarship board shall promptly: (1) Promulgate rules and regulations consistent with the statutory language of 3 CMC § 1342, which requires the scholarship board to weigh the applicants’ respective grade point averages, SAT or ACT scores, extra-curricular activities, the difficulty of the high school coursework, and at least two letters of recommendation in selecting scholarship recipients. In promulgating the rules and regulations, the scholarship board must assign a percentage value to all the statutorily-mandated criteria set forth in Section 1342(b). Additionally, the regulations must adequately set forth the methodology for ensuring that the scholarship board uniformly evaluates the difficulty of the applicants’ coursework; and (2) Reevaluate the entire set of applications for the 2006 honor scholarships, and award the scholarships based on the statutorily-mandated criteria set forth in 3 CMC § 1342(b). Calvo v. Northern Mariana Islands Scholarship Advisory Board, 2009 MP 2 ¶ 31. The 2011 amendments repealed and re-promulgated this subchapter. The 2012 amendments also repealed and re- promulgated this subchapter. PL 18-40 (Mar. 21, 2014) dissolved the Scholarship Office and replaced it with a new CNMI Scholarship Office, independent of the Office of the Governor. Section 5(c) of the Public Law provided, “The policies, rules and regulations of the Scholarship Office shall continue as policies, rules and regulations of the CNMI Scholarship Office until amended or repealed by the CNMI Scholarship Board of Directors.” Part 001 - General Provisions § 75-20.2-001 Purpose These regulations implement the provisions of the CNMI Honor Scholarship Act, 3 CMC § 1342. They repeal and replace the Honor Scholarship Program For Post Secondary Education Rules and Regulations, NMIAC § 75-20.2. They are promulgated pursuant to, and in accordance, with the Supreme Court Order in Calvo v. Northern Mariana Islands Scholarship Advisory Board, 2009 MP 2. History: Adopted 34 Com.

TITLE 75: OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Commission Comment: The Commission corrected the spelling of “extra-curricular” in subsection (b)(4) pursuant to 1 CMC § 3806(g). § 75-20.2-105 Selection Criteria (a) The Scholarship Advisory Board shall meet after July 15th for the purpose of selecting the scholarship recipients. (b) The Scholarship Advisory Board shall review and evaluate the applications of applicants using the criteria established by law and those imposed by the NMI Supreme Court. (1) Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or a U.S. national. (2) Applicants must be newly high school graduates who have attained a combination of highest cumulative grade point average and highest SAT and/or ACT score. In addition, applicants’ extra-curricular activities, difficulty of courses taken, and at least two letters of recommendation will be used in the selection process. Process of Ranking Scholarship: (i) 80% of the rank will be determined by the applicants’ cumulative grade point average and difficulty of courses. The Scholarship Advisory Board (“SAB”) has determined that the public/private education system in the NMI is valid in that all high schools in the NMI are accredited. Moreover, all high schools in the NMI allow their students to take Advanced Placement (AP) or honor courses. These courses allow students who wish to take more difficult courses to be rewarded via a higher Cumulative Grade Point Average. This is so because all schools in the NMI give students who take AP or honors courses grades on a five point scale instead of the traditional 4 point scale. The SAB rejects the process of norming GPAs because this would fail to distinguish students who took AP or honors courses and those students who did not. The board has studied the problem and believes this is the best way to incorporate the difficult of a student’s coursework. Students will be ranked according their cumulative grade point average from highest to lowest with the highest-ranking student receiving a “one.” (ii) 14% of the rank will be determined by the single highest total SAT or ACT score that the applicant received on a given testing day. Scores may not be combined. ACT scores will be converted to an equivalent SAT score. Students will be ranked according to their highest total SAT (or converted ACT) score from highest to lowest with the highest-ranking student receiving a “one.” (iii) 3% of the rank shall be determined by the student’s extra-curricular activities. Prior to the SAB meeting, the student’s extra-curricular activities will be separated from any identification markers. The individual Board members will then judge the extra-curricular activities on a scale of “one,” “two,” or “three.” Outstanding extra-curricular activities shall receive a “one,” average activities shall receive a “two” and subaverage activities shall receive a “three.” Each Board member voting shall make their own decision based on years of service and the nature thereof. Compensated extra-curricular activities shall not be considered. Upon each member awarding the total activities a “one,” “two,” or “three,” the high and low score shall be discarded and the average of all scores shall be determined. All averages shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Thus, a 2.3 is a 2 and a 1.9 is a 2. (Extra-curricular activities must be certified by the coordinate* of the event.) (iv) 3% of the rank shall be determined by the student’s letters of recommendation. Prior to the SAB meeting, the student’s letters of recommendation will be separated from any identification markers. The individual Board members will then judge the letters of © 2016 by The Commonwealth Law Revision Commission (August 30, 2016) Page 4 of 10
TITLE 75: OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR recommendation on a scale of “one,” “two,” or “three.” Outstanding recommendations shall receive a “one,” average recommendations shall receive a “two” and subaverage recommendations shall receive a “three.” Each Board member voting shall make their own decision based on the nature of the letter. The author of the letter shall not be considered. Upon each member awarding the letters a “one,” “two,” or “three,” the high and low score shall be discarded and the average of all scores shall be determined. All averages shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Thus, a 2.3 is a 2 and a 1.9 is a 2. (v) Once applicants have a rank for their grade point average, SAT/ACT score, extra- curricular activities, and letters of recommendation, the rankings will be multiplied by the appropriate percentage and totaled. The applicants with the ranking closest to one will receive the awards in order until all the available scholarships under the program are provided. (vi) The following example shows how the ranking process works. Student CGPA 80% SAT/ACT 14% Extra 3% LOR 3% Total Place (rank) GPA (rank) SAT/ACT Curric. Extra (rank) LOR Score Score Curric. Score Score A 4.25 .8 1275 (6) .84 2 .06 3 .09 1.79 1 (1) F 4.15 1.6 1400 (3) .42 2 .06 2 .06 2.14 2 (2) E 4.1 (3) 2.4 1000 (8) 1.12 3 .09 2 .06 3.67 4 G 4.06 3.2 1600 (1) .14 2 .06 1 .03 3.43 3 (4) I 4.01 4 1500 (2) .28 2 .06 2 .06 4.4 5 (5) C 4 (6) 4.8 1325 (4) .56 1 .03 2 .06 5.48 6 B 4 (6) 4.8 1300 (5) .70 2 .06 2 .06 5.62 7 H 3.99 5.6 1325 (4) .56 2 .06 2 .06 6.28 8 (7) D 3.75 6.4 1250 (7) .98 2 .06 1 .03 7.47 9 (8) Under this example, if eight scholarships were available, the individuals ranked first through eighth will receive awards. In other words, only applicant D would not receive an award. (vii) For the purpose of a tiebreaker, the SAB shall use the highest Cumulative Grade Point Average. Thus, for the students who are tied, the one(s) with the highest CGPA wins the award(s). (3) Applicants graduating within the CNMI must have attended school within the CNMI for a minimum total of six years. Within the six years requirement, applicants must have attended the CNMI* - two years immediately preceding the date of the award. (4) In addition to the subsection (b)(1) and (b)(2) requirement, applicants graduating from a high school within the United States of America or its territories as one of the top students, scholastically are eligible to apply, provided that the applicant has attained the highest scholastic achievement with a 4.0 or higher cumulative grade point average and whose parent(s) are bona fide CNMI resident(s) at the time of application and have been so for a minimum period of eight years prior to the date of application. © 2016 by The Commonwealth Law Revision Commission (August 30, 2016) Page 5 of 10
