    (b) Projects funded under this program are in addition to other 

programs, services, and activities made available under other provisions 

of the Act to--

    (1) Eligible Indians in need of vocational education; and

    (2) Eligible Indian tribes as community-based organizations that 

receive State vocational education assistance.

    (c) An award under this program may be used to provide a stipend to 

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.
