Summary

The Secretary must pay each college an extra institutional allowance for every student who receives a fellowship, on top of any stipend. For 2009–2010 and later years, that allowance equals the school's 2008–2009 institutional payment, adjusted each year for inflation using the Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index for the previous calendar year. The allowance is cut by any tuition or instructional fees the school charges and collects from the fellow. Money from this program cannot be used for the general operational overhead of a department or program.
