Special Funding Considerations: In

tie-breaking situations described in 34

CFR 607.23 of the Strengthening

Institutions program regulations, 34 CFR

607.23, the Secretary awards additional

points under § 607.22 to an application

from an institution which has an

endowment fund for which the current

market value, per full-time equivalent

(FTE) student, is less than the average,

per FTE student, at similar type

institutions; and has expenditures for

library materials, per FTE student,

which are less than the average, per FTE

student, at similar type institutions.

For the purposes of these funding

considerations, an applicant must be

able to demonstrate that the current

market value of its endowment fund,

Applicable Regulations: (a) The

Department of Education General

Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in

34 CFR Parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 82, 85, and

86; and (b) the regulations for this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

15, 1994, the Secretary published a

notice of final rulemaking for this

program in the Federal Register (59 FR

41914).

For Fiscal Years 1995 and 1996, the

Department will conduct biennial grant

award competitions under the

Strengthening Institutions Program.

Under a biennial grant award

competition, an institution submits a

grant application that may be

considered for funding under two

successive fiscal year grant award

competitions. Applications are

evaluated and ranked by field readers

for the first competition. If the

institution’s application is not selected

for funding under the first fiscal year’s

award competition, it will be considered

for funding under the second fiscal

year’s award competition for new

awards, based upon the score it received

in the first competition. As part of the

plan, the Secretary will not invite

applications for new awards for the

second fiscal year. Accordingly, if an

institution wishes to apply for a new

grant award under the Strengthening

Institutions Program for Fiscal Year

1995 or Fiscal Year 1996, it must submit

an application by the closing date of

May 1, 1995. An applicant should

identify the fiscal year (1995 and/or

1996) from which it seeks funding.

No planning grants will be awarded

under this competition.
