The Secretary of Defense may award grants to undergraduate and graduate students accepted by or enrolled in higher-education institutions in national-security science and engineering fields. Grants are paid to the institution, capped at attendance cost, and awarded with a priority intended to encourage women and minority students.
(a)(1) The Secretary of Defense may run a program awarding grants to students accepted for enrollment in, or enrolled in, an institution of higher education as undergraduate or graduate students in scientific and engineering fields critical to the Department of Defense's national-security functions.
(a)(2) Grant money must be paid on behalf of the student to the higher-education institution where the student is enrolled. No money may be paid until the student is enrolled.
(a)(3) A grant may not exceed the student's cost of attendance.
(a)(4) The grant may not be reduced because the student receives other Federal student aid. But the grant must be counted when deciding whether the student qualifies for that other aid.
(a)(5) The Secretary must give priority to grants in a way likely to encourage women and minority-group members to pursue science and engineering careers. The Secretary may consider applicants' financial need when awarding grants under that priority.
(b)(1) “Institution of higher education” has the meaning given in section 101 of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
(b)(2) “Cost of attendance” has the meaning given in section 472 of that Act (20 U.S.C. 1087ll). This section does not define either quoted term itself.
The Secretary of Defense may, in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, carry out a program for awarding grants to students who have been accepted for enrollment in, or who are enrolled in, an institution of higher education as undergraduate or graduate students in scientific and engineering disciplines critical to the national security functions of the Department of Defense.
Grant proceeds shall be disbursed on behalf of students awarded grants under this subsection to the institutions of higher education at which the students are enrolled. No grant proceeds shall be disbursed on behalf of a student until the student is enrolled at an institution of higher education.
The amount of a grant awarded a student under this subsection may not exceed the student’s cost of attendance.
The amount of a grant awarded a student under this subsection shall not be reduced on the basis of the student’s receipt of other forms of Federal student financial assistance, but shall be taken into account in determining the eligibility of the student for those other forms of Federal student financial assistance.
The Secretary shall give priority to awarding grants under this subsection in a manner likely to stimulate the interest of women and members of minority groups in pursuing scientific and engineering careers. The Secretary may consider the financial need of applicants in making awards in accordance with such priority.
In this section:
The term “institution of higher education” has the meaning given such term in section 101 of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
The term “cost of attendance” has the meaning given such term in section 472 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1087ll).
