(1) Loan guaranty fund. A loan guaranty fund shall be maintained for the security of holders of loans guaranteed by the corporation. The corporation is authorized to guarantee loans pursuant to this part without limitation; provided, however, that the amount of outstanding principal of loans guaranteed plus the principal amount of loans guaranteed but not yet disbursed nor canceled shall not at any time exceed 15 times the loan guaranty fund balance. In determining the amount of loan principal that may be guaranteed at any time by the corporation, however, there shall be excluded from the computation of the required loan guaranty fund balance 80 percent of the amount of outstanding principal of loans guaranteed and 80 percent of the principal amount of loans guaranteed but not yet disbursed nor canceled which are reinsured by the United States pursuant to the federal act. There shall be credited to the loan guaranty fund all moneys required by law to be credited to the fund and other moneys available for and determined by the corporation to be credited to the fund for the purpose of providing security to the holders of loans guaranteed by the corporation and other purposes authorized in accordance with this part and the federal act. The fund shall be prudently invested by the corporation to the maximum extent possible, subject to requirements of the federal act; and all income derived from investment of the fund shall be credited to the fund. Other income, property, and property rights acquired by the corporation as a result of administration of the fund shall be credited to and become assets of the fund. There shall be paid out of the loan guaranty fund all amounts expended by the corporation in discharge of its guaranty obligations and such other amounts determined by the corporation to be properly payable from the fund. Guaranty fees collected and credited to the fund and income derived from investment of the fund, except as limited by the federal act, may be transferred to the administration fund.

(2) Administration fund. An administration fund shall be maintained for administration purposes of the corporation, to which shall be credited state moneys, federal moneys, moneys transferred from the loan guaranty fund or the state interest subsidy and loan discount fund, and other moneys available for and determined by the corporation to be applied for the purpose of paying administration costs of the corporation. The corporation is authorized to pay from the fund to the commission such amounts as may be necessary to cover administration costs of the corporation paid or to be paid by the commission for or on behalf of the corporation. Moneys in the administration fund may be transferred to the loan guaranty fund or to the state interest subsidy and loan discount fund if not prohibited by the federal act.

(3) State interest subsidy and loan discount fund. A state interest subsidy and loan discount fund shall be maintained by the corporation for the purpose of making state interest subsidy and loan discount payments to lenders pursuant to Code Sections 20-3-273 and 20-3-274. State funds appropriated for use by the corporation in making such payments to lenders, collections of state interest subsidy loans previously made from the fund on behalf of student borrowers pursuant to Code Section 20-3-274, moneys transferred to the fund from the administration fund or the loan guaranty fund not in conflict with the federal act, and other moneys available for and determined by the corporation to be applied for the purpose of making such state interest subsidy and loan discount payments to lenders shall be credited to and become a part of the fund. In the event that state interest subsidy and loan discount payments to lenders, as provided for in this part, shall be terminated, any remaining fund balance, after payment of outstanding obligations of the fund, shall be transferred to the administration fund.
