Part A of title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 1057 et seq. ) is amended by inserting after section 319 the following: Subject to paragraphs
(2)and (3), for fiscal year 2015 and each succeeding fiscal year, the Secretary shall pay to any eligible college an amount equal to 40 percent of the total amount of charges for tuition for such year, and the State shall pay 60 percent of such charges for such year, for all Native American Indian students who— are not residents of the State in which the college they attend is located; and are enrolled in the college for the academic year ending immediately prior to the beginning of such fiscal year. For purposes of this section, an eligible college is any institution of higher education serving Native American Indian students that provides tuition-free education to such students, as mandated by Federal law, with the support of the State in which the college is located, in fulfillment of a condition under which the State or college received its original grant of land and facilities from the United States. Any amounts received by an eligible college under this section shall be treated as a reimbursement from the State in which the college is located, and shall be considered as provided in fulfillment of any Federal mandate upon the State to admit Native American Indian students free of charge of tuition. Nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve any State from any mandate the State may have under Federal law to reimburse a college for each academic year— with respect to Native American Indian students enrolled in the college who are not residents of the State in which the college is located, any amount of charges for tuition for such students for such academic year that exceeds the amount received under this section for such academic year; and with respect to Native American Indian students enrolled in the college who are residents of the State in which the college is located, an amount equal to the charges for tuition for such students for such academic year. In this section, the term Native American Indian student means an Indian pupil (as such term has been defined for purposes of Federal laws that impose a mandate upon a State or college to provide tuition-free education to Native American Indian students in fulfillment of a condition under which the State or college received its original grant of land and facilities from the United States). .
