34 C.F.R. § 646.20 How does the Secretary decide which new grants to make?
Title 34 - Education
(a) The Secretary evaluates an application for a new grant as follows: (1)(i) The Secretary evaluates the application on the basis of the selection criteria in §646.21. (ii) The maximum score for all the criteria in §646.21 is 100 points. The maximum score for each criterion is indicated in parentheses with the criterion. (2)(i) If an application for a new grant proposes to continue to serve substantially the same population or campus that the applicant is serving under an expiring grant, the Secretary evaluates the applicant's prior experience in delivering services under the expiring grant on the basis of the criteria in §646.22. (ii) The maximum score for all the criteria in §646.22 is 15 points. The maximum score for each criterion is indicated in parentheses with the criterion. (b) The Secretary makes new grants in rank order on the basis of the applications' total scores under paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section. (c) If the total scores of two or more applications are the same and there is insufficient money available to fully fund them both after funding the higher-ranked applications, the Secretary chooses among the tied applications so as to serve geographic areas that have been underserved by the Student Support Services Program. (d) The Secretary does not make grants to applicants that carried out a Federal TRIO program project that involved the fraudulent use of funds. (Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1070a–11 and 1070a–14)
