(B) An individual in possession of a bachelor's degree, who wishes to enter teaching from another profession, is eligible to receive a Teacher Corps scholarship to enable such individual to receive the instruction necessary to enter the teaching profession, as determined by the State in which the individual wishes to teach. Such instruction may be provided while the individual is employed as a provisional teacher.
Subject to subsection (d) of this section, each Teacher Corps member shall receive a $5,000 scholarship for each academic year of postsecondary education, except that no individual shall receive scholarship assistance for more than 3 years of postsecondary education (including postbaccalaureate), as determined by the Secretary.
Each Teacher Corps scholarship awarded pursuant to this subpart shall be considered as student financial assistance in determining eligibility for student assistance under subchapter IV of this chapter and part C of subchapter I of chapter 34 of title 42.
Each Teacher Corps scholarship, when added to assistance received under subchapter IV of this chapter and part C of subchapter I of chapter 34 of title 42, if any, shall not exceed the cost of attendance, as defined in section 1087ll of this title, at the institution the individual is attending.
