Subpart 2 of part L of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 ( 34 U.S.C. 10301 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following: The financial assistance on behalf of an eligible person who is pursuing a program of education consisting of institutional courses shall be paid at the monthly rate of $2,000 for full-time, $1,600 for three-quarter-time, or $1,160 for half-time pursuit. The financial assistance on behalf of an eligible person pursuing a program of education on less than a half-time basis shall be paid at the rate of the lesser of— the established charges for tuition and fees that the educational institution involved requires similarly circumstanced noneligible persons enrolled in the same program to pay; or $788 per month for a full-time course.
The financial assistance to be paid on behalf of an eligible person who is pursuing a full-time program of education which consists of institutional courses and alternate phases of training in a business or industrial establishment with the training in the business or industrial establishment being strictly supplemental to the institutional portion, shall be computed at the rate of $2,000 per month. An eligible person who is enrolled in an educational institution for a farm cooperative program consisting of institutional agricultural courses prescheduled to fall within 44 weeks of any period of 12 consecutive months and who pursues such program on— a full-time basis (a minimum of 10 clock hours per week or 440 clock hours in such year prescheduled to provide not less than 80 clock hours in any three-month period); a three-quarter-time basis (a minimum of seven clock hours per week); or a half-time basis (a minimum of five clock hours per week), shall be eligible to receive financial assistance at the appropriate rate provided in paragraph
(2)of this subsection, if such eligible person is concurrently engaged in agricultural employment which is relevant to such institutional agricultural courses as determined under standards prescribed by the Attorney General. In computing the foregoing clock hour requirements there shall be included the time involved in field trips and individual and group instruction sponsored and conducted by the educational institution through a duly authorized instructor of such institution in which the person is enrolled. The monthly financial assistance to be paid on behalf of an eligible person pursuing a farm cooperative program under this subpart shall be $636 for full-time, $477 for three-quarter-time, or $319 for half-time pursuit. If a program of education is pursued by an eligible person at an institution located in the Republic of the Philippines, the financial assistance computed for such person under this section shall be paid at the rate of $0.50 for each dollar. Subject to paragraph (3), the amount of financial assistance payable under this subpart for a licensing or certification test described in section 3501(a)(5) of title 38, United States Code, is the lesser of $2,000 or the fee charged for the test. The number of months of entitlement charged in the case of any individual for such licensing or certification test is equal to the number (including any fraction) determined by dividing the total amount paid to such individual for such test by the full-time monthly institutional rate of the financial assistance which, except for paragraph (1), such individual would otherwise be paid under this subpart. In no event shall payment of financial assistance under this subsection for such a test exceed the amount of the individual’s available entitlement under this subpart. Subject to paragraph (3), the amount of financial assistance payable under this subpart for a national test for admission or national test providing an opportunity for course credit at institutions of higher learning described in section 3501(a)(5) of title 38, United States Code, is the amount of the fee charged for the test. The number of months of entitlement charged in the case of any individual for a test described in paragraph
(1)is equal to the number (including any fraction) determined by dividing the total amount of financial assistance paid such individual for such test by the full-time monthly institutional rate of financial assistance, except for paragraph (1), such individual would otherwise be paid under this subpart. In no event shall payment of financial assistance under this subsection for a test described in paragraph
(1)exceed the amount of the individual’s available entitlement under this subpart. Terms used in this section have the meanings given such terms in section 3501 of title 38, United States Code. Amounts under this section shall be indexed annually to the college tuition and fees component of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. .
