Plain-language summaryAI

The law requires the Defense Department to consider accredited civilian schools eligible for scholarship payments unless their accreditation is under review for problems. It also limits when the Defense Department can stop payments for a student's educational expenses, allowing it only if the school's accreditation is in question or if the student leaves the program.
