Summary

Eligible Hispanic-serving colleges can get help waiving the required non-Federal share (the money they must put in) or be given priority for certain federal program grants. The Secretary may do this only for applications that would otherwise be approved, and only under rules made for this purpose. It applies to programs under subchapter IV and section 1124. The Secretary must not waive the cost-share if the approved waivers would cause spending of more than 10 percent of that program’s appropriations in any fiscal year.
