(a) Applicants for enrollment and enrolled volunteers

    The President shall make provision for such training as he deems 
appropriate for each applicant for enrollment as a volunteer and each 
enrolled volunteer. All of the provisions of this chapter applicable 
respectively to volunteers and volunteer leaders shall be applicable to 
applicants for enrollment as such during any period of training 
occurring prior to enrollment, and the respective terms ``volunteers'' 
and ``volunteer leaders'' shall include such applicants during any such 
period of training.

(b) Citizen trainees for voluntary programs; foreign nationals as 
        trainees; advances of funds or reimbursement basis; use of 
        credits

    The President may also make provision, on the basis of advances of 
funds or reimbursement to the United States, for training for citizens 
of the United States, other than those referred to in subsection (a) of 
this section, who have been selected for service abroad in programs not 
carried out under authority of this chapter which are similar to those 
authorized by this chapter. The provisions of section 2508 of this title 
shall apply, on a similar advance of funds or a reimbursement basis, 
with respect to persons while within the United States for training 
under authority of this subsection. Advances or reimbursements received 
under this subsection may be credited to the current applicable 
appropriation, fund, or account and shall be available for the purposes 
for which such appropriation, fund, or account is authorized to be used.
