Any real or personal property received by a tribally controlled community college as a donation or gift on or after the date of the enactment of this sentence may, to the extent of its fair market value as determined by the Secretary, be used by such college as its contribution pursuant to section 302(b)(2)(B), or as part of such contribution, as the case may be. In any case in which any such real or personal property so used is thereafter sold or otherwise disposed of by such college, the proceeds therefrom shall be deposited pursuant to section 302(b)(2)(B) but shall not again be considered for Federal capital contribution

purposes.

(b) If for any fiscal year the amount appropriated pursuant to section 306 is not sufficient to allocate to each tribally controlled community college an amount equal to twice the value of the property or the amount demonstrated by such college pursuant to subsection (a), then the amount of the allocation to each such college shall be ratably reduced.

PART B-HIGHER EDUCATION TRIBAL GRANT AUTHORIZATION ACT

SEC. 1311. [25 U.S.C. 3301] SHORT TITLE.

This part may be cited as the "Higher Education Tribal Grant Authorization Act".

SEC. 1312. [25 U.S.C. 3302] FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that-

(1) there are increasing numbers of Indian students qualifying for postsecondary education, and there are increasing numbers desiring to go to postsecondary institutions;

(2) the needs of these students far outpace the resources available currently;

(3) Indian tribes have shown an increasing interest in administering programs serving these individuals and making decisions on these programs reflecting their determinations of the tribal and human needs;

(4) the contracting process under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act has provided a mechanism for the majority of the tribes to assume control over this program from the Bureau of Indian Affairs;

(5) however, inherent limitations in the contracting philosophy and mechanism, coupled with cumbersome administrative procedures developed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs have effectively limited the efficiency and effectiveness of these programs;

(6) the provision of these services in the most effective and efficient form possible is necessary for tribes, the country, and the individuals to be served; and

(7) these services are part of the Federal Government's continuing trust responsibility to provide education services to American Indian and Alaska Natives.

SEC. 1313. [25 U.S.C. 3303] PROGRAM AUTHORITY.

(a) IN GENERAL.-The Secretary shall, from the amounts appropriated for the purpose of supporting higher education grants for Indian students under the authority of the Act of November 2, 1921, popularly known as the Snyder Act (25 U.S.C. 13), make grants to Indian tribes in accordance with the requirements of this part to permit those tribes to provide financial assistance to individual Indian students for the cost of attendance at institutions of higher education.

(b) LIMITATION ON SECRETARY'S AUTHORITY.-The Secretary shall not place any restrictions on the use of funds provided to an Indian tribe under this part that is not expressly authorized by this part.

(c) EFFECT ON FEDERAL RESPONSIBILITIES.—The provisions of this part shall not affect any trust responsibilities of the Federal Government.

(d) NO TERMINATION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CONVENIENCE.— Grants provided under this part may not be terminated, modified, suspended, or reduced only for the convenience of the administering agency.

SEC. 1314. [25 U.S.C. 3304] QUALIFICATION FOR GRANTS TO TRIBES.

(a) CONTRACTING TRIBES.-Any Indian tribe that obtains funds for educational purposes similar to those authorized in this part pursuant to contract under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act may qualify for a grant under this part by submitting to the Secretary a notice of intent to administer a student assistance program under section 1313. Such notice shall be
