and programs of institutions of higher education, a fellow-
ship program to assist graduate students of superior ability
who demonstrate financial need.
‘‘SEC. 652. GRANTS TO ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS AND PRO-
GRAMS OF INSTITUTIONS.
‘‘(a) GRANT AUTHORITY.—
‘‘(1) IN
GENERAL.—The Secretary shall make
grants to academic departments and programs and
other academic units of institutions of higher edu-
317
cation that provide courses of study leading to a
graduate degree in order to enable such institutions to
provide assistance to graduate students in accordance
with this part. The Secretary shall coordinate the ad-
ministration and regulation of programs under this
part with other Federal programs providing graduate
assistance to minimize duplication and improve effi-
ciency.
‘‘(2) ADDITIONAL GRANTS.—The Secretary may
also make grants to such departments and programs
and to other units of institutions of higher education
granting graduate degrees which submit joint propos-
als involving nondegree granting institutions which
have formal arrangements for the support of doctoral
dissertation research with degree-granting institu-
tions. Nondegree granting institutions eligible for
awards as part of such joint proposals include any
organization which—
‘‘(A) is described in section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and is exempt
from tax under section 501(a) of such Code;

and counseling who meet the standards of the in-
stitution of higher education in which the stu-
dents are enrolled; and
‘‘(E) has necessary research resources not
otherwise readily available in such institutions
to such students.
‘‘(b) AWARD AND DURATION OF GRANTS.—
‘‘(1) AWARDS.—The principal criterion for the
allocation of awards shall be the relative quality of
the graduate programs presented in competing appli-
cations. Consistent with an allocation of awards
based on quality of competing applications, the Sec-
retary shall, in making such grants, promote an equi-
table geographic distribution among eligible public
and private institutions of higher education.
‘‘(2) DURATION.—The Secretary shall approve a
grant recipient under this part for a 3-year period.

fiscal year, the Secretary shall not make a grant to
any academic department or program of an institu-
tion of higher education of less than $125,000 or
greater than $750,000 per fiscal year.
‘‘(3) REALLOTMENT.—Whenever the Secretary
determines that an academic department or program
319
of an institution of higher education is unable to use
all of the amounts available to it under this part, the
Secretary shall, on such dates during each fiscal year
as the Secretary may fix, reallot the amounts not
needed to academic departments and programs of in-
stitutions which can use the grants authorized by this
part.

unless the program of postbaccalaureate study has been in
existence for at least 4 years at the time of application for
assistance under this part.
‘‘(b) DESIGNATION OF AREAS OF NATIONAL NEED.—
After consultation with appropriate Federal and nonprofit
agencies and organizations, the Secretary shall designate
areas of national need. In making such designations, the
Secretary shall take into account the extent to which the
interest is compelling, the extent to which other Federal pro-
grams support postbaccalaureate study in the area con-
320
cerned, and an assessment of how the program could achieve
the most significant impact with available resources.
‘‘SEC. 654. CRITERIA FOR APPLICATIONS.
‘‘(a) SELECTION OF APPLICATIONS.—The Secretary
shall make grants to academic departments and programs
of institutions of higher education on the basis of applica-
tions submitted in accordance with subsection (b). Applica-
tions shall be ranked on program quality by review panels
of nationally recognized scholars and evaluated on the qual-
ity and effectiveness of the academic program and the
achievement and promise of the students to be served. To
the extent possible (consistent with other provisions of this
section), the Secretary shall make awards that are consist-
ent with recommendations of the review panels.
‘‘(b) CONTENTS OF APPLICATIONS.—An academic de-
partment or program of an institution of higher education,

any fiscal year will be used to supplement and, to the
extent practical, increase the funds that would other-
wise be made available for the purpose of this part

‘‘(6) provide assurances that, in the event that
funds made available to the academic department or
program under this part are insufficient to provide
the assistance due a student under the commitment
entered into between the academic department or pro-
gram and the student, the academic department or
322
program will, from any funds available to it, fulfill
the commitment to the student;
‘‘(7) provide that the applicant will comply with
the limitations set forth in section 655;

as described in this part. In the case of an individual who
receives such individual’s first stipend under this part in
academic year 1999–2000 or any succeeding academic year,
such stipend shall be set at a level of support equal to that

PROGRESS
REQUIRED.—Notwith-
standing the provisions of subsection (a), no student shall
receive an award—

ployment other than part-time employment involved
in teaching, research, or similar activities determined
by the institution to be in support of the student’s
progress towards a degree.
‘‘SEC. 656. ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE FOR COST OF EDU-
CATION.
‘‘(a) INSTITUTIONAL PAYMENTS.—(1) The Secretary

SEC. 801. STUDY OF TRANSFER OF CREDITS.
(a) STUDY REQUIRED.—The Secretary of Education
shall conduct a study to evaluate policies or practices insti-

garding the treatment of the transfer of credits from one

credits between institutions of higher education which
328
are accredited by national agencies or associations
and institutions of higher education which are accred-
ited by regional agencies and associations and the
reasons for such policies;

students transferring between such institutions of
higher education, including time required to matricu-
late, increases to the student of tuition and fees paid,
and increases to the student with regard to student
loan burden;
(4) the extent to which Federal financial aid is

authority for Federal student loans, and the appro-
priate Federal role in the operation of such an auc-
tion or other alternative market mechanisms;

sure loan access for all eligible borrowers, while maxi-
mizing the cost-effectiveness (for the Government and
