# O.C.G.A. § 20-3-387. Eligibility for education loan forgiveness; availability of funds.

(a) No entitlement to funds is created by this subpart. Eligibility for education loan forgiveness shall be dependent on funding through appropriations, as well as all other conditions of eligibility, as determined by the authority.

(b) In the event funds available to the authority for any of the programs listed in Code Section 20-3-385 are not sufficient for the full education loan forgiveness prescribed by the General Assembly, education loan forgiveness payable on behalf of the individuals in that program shall be reduced by the authority on a pro rata basis.

(c) In the event sufficient funds are available to the authority, the authority is authorized to increase the amount of the education loan forgiveness available to individuals in the programs listed in Code Section 20-3-385.
