				  Instruction received by a student outside New York State may be considered as
				  instruction conducted by an educational institution in this State, within the
				  intent of the law, only if the student is required to pay all tuition and
				  instructional fees for such foreign or out-of-state study to the approved
				  educational institution. To be approved, an off-campus study program must be an
				  integral part of the curriculum of the educational institution, and tuition
				  must be payable to and received by the educational institution in the same
				  manner as tuition charged for any other educational institution program. If the
				  student pays tuition or educational fees to an out-of-state institution, the
				  student shall be considered as receiving instruction provided by that
				  institution, notwithstanding the fact that the student may be maintaining
				  registration in an educational institution, or that the educational institution
				  may also be charging the student a fee for supervisory, guidance, or
				  administrative services.
(c)
				  Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the corporation may establish
				  additional standards for the approval of foreign and out-of-state study
				  programs in order for students to qualify for awards under this Chapter. An
				  educational institution must receive approval of its foreign or out-of-state
				  study program from the corporation prior to certifying any student enrolled in
				  such programs for an award.
