PART 654--ROBERT C. BYRD HONORS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM--Table of Contents
 
       Subpart C--How Does the Secretary Make a Grant to a State?
 
Sec. 654.21  How does the Secretary determine the amount of the grant to 
each participating State?

    (a) From the funds appropriated for this program, the Secretary 
allots to each participating State a grant equal to $1,500 multiplied by 
the number of scholarships the Secretary determines to be available to 
that State on the basis of the formula described in paragraph (b) of 
this section.
    (b) The number of scholarships that the Secretary allots to each 
participating State for any fiscal year bears the same ratio to the 
number of scholarships allotted to all participating States as each 
State's population ages 5 through 17 which is derived from the most 
recently available data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census bears to the 
population ages 5 through 17 in all participating States, except that--
    (1) Not fewer than 10 scholarships are allotted to any participating 
State; and
    (2) The District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the 
U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Northern 
Mariana Islands, Guam, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands 
(Palau) each are allotted 10 scholarships.
