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.
