The higher education coordinating board may request that the treasurer deposit fifty thousand dollars of state matching funds into the American Indian scholarship endowment fund when the board can match the state funds with an equal amount of private cash donations, including conditional gifts. Private cash donations means moneys from nonstate sources that include, but are not limited to, federal moneys, tribal moneys, and assessments by commodity commissions authorized to conduct research activities, including but not limited to research studies authorized under RCW 15.66.030 and 15.65.040.
