Summary

States must use the money they get from the Secretary to pay approved applicants the federal portion of their program costs. The federal portion is 75% each year, but can be up to 100% for applicants with a waiver under section 3995(c). The state's share can be cash or things like equipment or services. Each State gets either its share of funds under the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act or $225,000, whichever is larger. If there is not enough money, payments to States are cut back proportionally.
