| Notes | The age and enrolment condition is inferred from the page's own framing ('young people', 'skip or stop out of college') rather than from a quoted rule, because the site publishes no eligibility section on the landing page read. That is the gap in this record: the number is documented and the gate is inferred, so a reader should treat the age limit as likely rather than established. The programme is a grant, not compute, and is recorded because names it. |
