The Secretary shall use 100 percent of the amount available to carry out this subpart to award not less than three grants to eligible entities that have applications approved under this subpart to demonstrate innovative methods of assisting charter schools to address the cost of acquiring, constructing, and renovating facilities by enhancing the availability of loans or bond financing.
The Secretary shall evaluate each application submitted under section 7223b of this title, and shall determine whether the application is sufficient to merit approval.
The Secretary shall award at least one grant to an eligible entity described in section 7223i(2)(A) of this title, at least one grant to an eligible entity described in section 7223i(2)(B) of this title, and at least one grant to an eligible entity described in section 7223i(2)(C) of this title, if applications are submitted that permit the Secretary to do so without approving an application that is not of sufficient quality to merit approval.
Grants under this subpart shall be of a sufficient size, scope, and quality so as to ensure an effective demonstration of an innovative means of enhancing credit for the financing of charter school acquisition, construction, or renovation.
In the event the Secretary determines that the funds made available under this subpart are insufficient to permit the Secretary to award not less than three grants in accordance with subsections (a) through (c) of this section, such three-grant minimum and subsection (b)(2) of this section shall not apply, and the Secretary may determine the appropriate number of grants to be awarded in accordance with subsection (c) of this section.
