SEC. 303. (a) The Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare (hereinafter in this title referred to as the "Secretary") is authorized to make grants to the Commissioner of the District of Columbia (hereinafter in this title referred to as the "Commissioner") in amounts the Secretary determines to be the minimum amounts necessary to carry out the purposes of this title. The total amount of grants under this section for any fiscal year shall not exceed the sum of (1) the product of $5,000 times the number of full-time students enrolled in private nonprofit accredited medical schools in the District of Columbia, and (2) the product of $3,000 times the number of full-time students enrolled in private nonprofit accredited dental schools in the District of Columbia. (b) For the purposes of this section and section 307, in determining eligibility for, and the amount of, grants with respect to private nonprofit medical and dental schools, consideration shall be given to any grants made to such schools pursuant to the portion of the program under section 772 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 295f-2) relating to financial assistance to schools which are in serious financial straits to aid them in meeting their costs of operation.
