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.
