             Subpart D_How Does the Secretary Make a Grant?

 

Sec. 645.30  How does the Secretary decide which grants to make?





    (a) The Secretary evaluates an application for a grant as follows:

    (1)(i) The Secretary evaluates the application on the basis of the 

selection criteria in Sec. 645.31.

    (ii) The maximum score for all the criteria in Sec. 645.31 is 100 

points. The maximum score for each criterion is indicated in parentheses 

with the criterion.

    (2)(i) If an applicant for a new grant proposes to continue to serve 

substantially the same target population or schools that the applicant 

is serving under an expiring project, the Secretary evaluates the 

applicant's prior experience in delivering services under the expiring 

Upward Bound project on the basis of the criteria in Sec. 645.32.

    (ii) The maximum score for all the criteria in Sec. 645.32 is 15 

points. The maximum score for each criterion is indicated in parentheses 

with the criterion.

    (b) The Secretary makes grants in rank order on the basis of the 

application's 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 are insufficient funds for these applications after the approval 

of higher-ranked applications, the Secretary uses whatever remaining 

funds are available to serve geographic areas that have been underserved 

by the Upward Bound Program.

    (d) The Secretary may decline to make a grant to an applicant that 

carried out a project that involved the fraudulent use of funds under 

section 402A(c)(2)(B) of the HEA.
