(2)in accordance with this subsection. To be eligible to receive a Workforce Pell Grant under this subsection for any period of enrollment, a student shall meet the eligibility requirements for a Federal Pell Grant under this section, except that the student— shall be enrolled, or accepted for enrollment, in an eligible program under section 481(b)(3) (hereinafter referred to as an eligible workforce program ); and may not— be enrolled, or accepted for enrollment, in a program of study that leads to a master’s degree, doctoral degree, or other post-graduate degree; or have attained such a degree. The Secretary shall award Workforce Pell Grants under this subsection in the same manner and with the same terms and conditions as the Secretary awards Federal Pell Grants under this section, except that— each use of the term eligible program shall be substituted by eligible workforce program under section 481(b)(3) , other than with respect to— paragraph (9)(A) of such subsection; and subsection (d)(2); and a student who is eligible for a grant equal to less than the amount of the minimum Federal Pell Grant because the eligible workforce program in which the student is enrolled or accepted for enrollment is less than an academic year (in hours of instruction or weeks of duration) may still be eligible for a Workforce Pell Grant in an amount that is prorated based on the length of the program. No eligible student described in paragraph
(2)may concurrently receive a grant under both this subsection and— subsection (b); or subsection (c). Any period of study covered by a Workforce Pell Grant awarded under this subsection shall be included in determining a student’s duration limit under subsection (d)(5). . The amendment made by subsection
(a)shall take effect as if included in section 703 of the FAFSA Simplification Act (title VII of division FF of Public Law 116–260 ; 134 Stat. 3191) and in accordance with section 701(b) of such Act.
