The financial assistance to be paid on behalf of an eligible person pursuing a program of education on less than a half-time basis shall be computed at the rate of the lesser of— the established charges for tuition and fees that the eligible educational institution involved requires to be paid by similarly circumstanced noneligible persons enrolled in the same program; or $2,000 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 under which the training in the business or industrial establishment is strictly supplemental to the institutional portion, shall be computed at the rate of $2,000 per month. In this subsection, the term enrolled in a farm cooperative program , relating to an eligible person, means that the eligible person— is enrolled in an eligible 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; pursues such program on— a full-time basis (consisting of a minimum of 10 clock hours per week or 440 clock hours per year prescheduled to provide not less than 80 clock hours in any 3-month period); a three-quarter-time basis (consisting of a minimum of 7 clock hours per week); or a half-time basis (consisting of a minimum of 5 clock hours per week); and is concurrently engaged in agricultural employment which is relevant to such institutional agricultural courses, as determined under standards prescribed by the Attorney General.
The financial assistance to be paid on behalf of an eligible person who is enrolled in a farm cooperative program shall be computed at the rate of— $636 per month for full-time pursuit; $477 per month for three-quarter-time pursuit; or $319 per month for half-time pursuit. In calculating the number of clock hours for purposes of paragraph (1), the Attorney General shall include the time involved in field trips and individual and group instruction sponsored and conducted by the eligible educational institution through a duly authorized instructor of such institution in which the eligible person is enrolled.
The financial assistance to be paid on behalf of an eligible person who is enrolled in a program of education at an eligible educational institution located in the Republic of the Philippines, shall be computed at the rate of $0.50 for each $1.00 otherwise payable under this subpart.

Subject to paragraph (4), the amount of financial assistance payable under this subpart for a licensing or certification test is the lesser of $2,000 or the fee charged for the licensing or certification test.
The number of months of entitlement charged in the case of an eligible person for a licensing or certification test is equal to the quotient (including any fraction) obtained by dividing— the total amount paid to the eligible person for the licensing or certification test; by the full-time monthly institutional rate of the financial assistance which, but for paragraph (2), the eligible person would otherwise be paid under this subpart. In no event shall payment of financial assistance under this subsection for a licensing or certification test exceed the amount of the amount to which an eligible individual is entitled under this subpart.
