The HEOA provides that a “qualified master's degree program” is a master's degree program in mathematics, engineering, the physical or natural sciences, computer science, information technology, nursing, allied health, or other scientific disciplines in which African Americans are underrepresented. The master's degree program must have students enrolled at the time of application for a grant under this section.
**Enrollment Exception**
An institution may use an amount equal to not more than ten percent of the institution's grant under this section for the development of a new qualified master's degree program.

**Institutional Choice**

The president or chancellor of the institution may decide which graduate school or qualified masters degree program will receive funds under the grant in any one fiscal year, if the allocation of funds among the schools or programs is delineated in the application for funds submitted to the Secretary under this section.
