Sec. 2144. Subsistence allowance

    (a) Subject to subsection (b), a person entitled to educational 
assistance under this chapter is entitled to receive a monthly 
subsistence allowance during any period for which educational assistance 
is provided such person. The amount of a subsistence allowance under 
this section is $300 per month, adjusted in accordance with section 2145 
of this title, in the case of a person pursuing a course of instruction 
on a full-time basis and is one-half of such amount (as so adjusted) in 
the case of a person pursuing a course of instruction on less than a 
full-time basis.
    (b) The number of months for which a subsistence allowance may be 
provided to any person under this section is computed on the basis of 
nine months for each standard academic year of educational assistance to 
which such person is entitled.
    (c) For purposes of subsection (a), a person shall be considered to 
be pursuing a course of instruction on a full-time basis if the person 
is enrolled in twelve or more semester hours of instruction (or the 
equivalent, as determined by Secretary concerned).
