            (C) no stipend will be paid directly to employees of a 
        profitmaking business concern; and

        be employed by the participating business concern with which the 
        teacher served within three years after the end of the exchange 
        program unless the teacher repays the full cost of the exchange 
        program to the State and local educational agency, as the case 
        may be; and

        (4) provide assurances that whenever the program for which

    education within the State who wish to pursue a course of study in 
    mathematics or science, engineering or computer science, and that 
    each student awarded a scholarship under this part will receive a 
    stipend which shall not exceed the cost of tuition at the 
    institution of higher education plus a stipend of not to exceed $750 
    for each academic year of study for which the scholarship is 
    awarded;
        (5) set forth policies and procedures to assure that whenever 
    the application includes a local educational agency, to the extent 
    consistent with the number and location of children in the school 
    district of such agency who are enrolled in private elementary and 
    secondary schools, provision is made for the participation of such 
    children in the program assisted under this part;
        (6) provide assurances that consideration is given to programs
