(a) The Commissioner of Education, in consultation with the Labor Commissioner and
the Commissioners of Economic and Community Development and Higher Education,
shall, within the limits of available appropriations, provide grants to postsecondary

(b) If the Commissioner of Education finds that some or all of the amount of any
grant awarded pursuant to this section is used for purposes which are not in conformity
with sections 10-20a to 10-20d, inclusive, or is used to reduce the local share of support
for schools or to supplant a previous source of funding, the commissioner may require
repayment of such grant to the state.
(c) Each grant recipient shall submit to the Commissioner of Education, at such
time and in such manner as the commissioner prescribes, a biennial program evaluation
report.
