    (1) Eligible Indians in need of vocational education; and
    (2) Eligible Indian tribes as community-based organizations that 
receive State vocational education assistance.

a student who--
    (1) Is enrolled in a vocational education project funded under this 
program; and
    (2) Has an acute economic need that cannot be met through work-study 
programs.
    (d) The amount of a stipend may be the greater of either the minimum 
hourly wage prescribed by State or local law, or the minimum hourly wage 
set under the Fair Labor Standards Act. A stipend may not be paid for 
time a student is not in attendance in a project.
