Section 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.
