                            TITLE 25--INDIANS
 
                     CHAPTER 7--EDUCATION OF INDIANS
 
Sec. 278a. Use of appropriated funds for education in sectarian 
        schools prohibited; exceptions
        
    Funds appropriated on and after March 30, 1968, to the Secretary of 
the Interior for the education of Indian children shall not be used for 
the education of such children in elementary and secondary education 
programs in sectarian schools. This prohibition shall not apply to the 
education of Indians in accredited institutions of higher education and 
in other accredited schools offering vocational and technical training, 
but no scholarship aid provided for an Indian student shall require him 
to attend an institution or school that is not of his own free choice, 
and such aid shall be, to the extent consistent with sound 
administration, extended to the student individually rather than to the 
institution or school.
