**(a) Authority of Administrator.—** The Administrator may make grants and enter into contracts or other transactions under this subsection to assist any space grant and fellowship program or project if the Administrator finds that the program or project will carry out the purposes set forth in [section 40301 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title51-section40301&num=0&edition=prelim). The total amount paid pursuant to a grant or contract may equal not more than 66 percent of the total cost of the space grant and fellowship program or project involved, except in the case of grants or contracts paid for with funds accepted by the Administrator pursuant to [section 40303(c)(2) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title51-section40303/c/2&num=0&edition=prelim).

The amount of a special grant may equal up to 100 percent of the total cost of the project involved. A special grant may be made under this subsection only if the Administrator finds that—
(1) no reasonable means is available through which the applicant can meet the matching requirement for a grant under subsection (a);
(2) the probable benefit of the project outweighs the public interest in the matching requirement; and
(3) the same or equivalent benefit cannot be obtained through the award of a contract or grant under subsection (a) or [section 40305 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title51-section40305&num=0&edition=prelim).
