recruitment activities, the Secretary also considers the following 
selection criteria:

the project reflects--
    (1) A commitment to recruit, support and prepare additional well-
qualified new teachers for high-need schools;
    (2) Appropriate academic and student support services; and
    (3) A comprehensive strategy for addressing shortages of well-
qualified and well-trained teachers in high-need LEAs, especially 
teachers from disadvantaged and other underrepresented backgrounds.
    (b) In addition to the elements contained in Sec. 611.23(b) 
(Significance of project activities), the Secretary considers the extent 
to which the project promotes the recruitment, scholarship assistance, 
preparation, and support of additional cohorts of new teachers.

    (c) In addition to the elements contained in Sec. 611.23(c)

project on high-need LEAs and high-need schools based upon--
    (1) The amount of scholarship assistance the project will provide 
students from federal and non-federal funds;
    (2) The number of students who will receive scholarships; and
    (3) How those students receiving scholarships will benefit from 
high-quality teacher preparation and an effective support system during 
their first three years of teaching.
