Summary

An institution may move up to 25 percent of the money from each of three designated program allotments into one or more of the other allotments in the specific ways the law allows. This helps the school mix institutional and State aid to fit students’ needs. Money moved must be used the same way as funds in the allotment that receives it. The Secretary cannot stop or control these transfers except where the law specifically permits, but may collect and share information about them.
