PART 27--VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR ADULT INDIANS--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart B--Administrative Procedures
 
Sec. 27.10  Financial assistance for trainees.

    (a) Applicants entering full-time training under this part may be 
granted financial assistance as needed, based upon rates established by 
the Area Director for the respective areas, or jurisdictions within 
those areas. Trainees may be assisted to secure educational grants from 
other sources for which they qualify. Such income shall be considered in 
computing amounts of financial assistance to be provided by the Bureau 
of Indian Affairs. Marital status of trainees is not a consideration for 
determining eligibility for training, but this factor is a consideration 
in determining appropriate subsistence grants. Proof of a legal 
relationship requiring support shall be required as a basis for 
application of family subsistence rates. In the case of married persons, 
proof of marriage shall be required to satisfy this requirement. 
Financial assistance may be provided for transportation and subsistence 
enroute to training; tuition and related training costs; subsistence 
while in training; emergency assistance is allowed where verified 
emergencies justify such grants and must have Area Director approval; 
and supportive services while in training. Supportive services includes 
tools for employment, initial union dues, transportation of household 
effects, security and safety deposits, personal appearance and 
housewares, child care, and cost of vocational training counselors 
engaged in providing services to trainees (salaries, fringe benefits and 
travel costs).
    (b) Not more than thirty (30) percent of the funds appropriated for 
any program year may be used to pay for the costs of administration. 
Administrative costs include salaries and fringe benefits of direct 
program administrative positions such as program director or program 
officer, program/financial analyst, labor market analyst, clerical 
personnel, travel costs, materials, supplies, equipment, space and 
utilities.
