The program must be administered by the Commission on Higher Education. The commission must enter into annual contracts with eligible institutions to accomplish the purposes of this program.

Subject to the provisions of item (2), and less any allocations made pursuant to item (2), the funds appropriated for this program must be allocated equally among the eligible institutions.  (2) The Commission on Higher Education, or its successor, annually shall review and determine if funds allocated to a school pursuant to item (1) have been properly used by the school pursuant to Section 2-77-30. If the Commission on Higher Education, or its successor, determines these funds were used inappropriately by a school, the funds must be returned, and the following year that school's allocation must be reduced by fifty percent of the amount appropriated to each eligible institution pursuant to item (1). The balance remaining from a school's reduced allocation must be distributed equally among the remaining eligible institutions.

In awarding funds based on merit, the commission shall give priority to those proposals that can be matched with funds from a federal funding program.
