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 subsection (b), except that a student who is eligible for a grant equal to less than the amount of the minimum Federal Pell Grant because the eligible workforce development 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.
