school to all students pursuing a similar curriculum and ``required 

educational equipment'' means educational equipment which must be rented 

or purchased by all students pursuing a similar curriculum at that 

school.

    (2) The Secretary may enter into a contract with the school in which 

the participant is enrolled for the direct payment of tuition and 

reasonable educational expenses in the participant's behalf.

    (b) Payment of scholarship: Leave-of-absence; repeated course work. 

The Secretary will suspend scholarship payments to or on behalf of a 

participant if the school (1) approves a leave-of-absence for the 

participant for health, personal, or other reasons, or (2) requires the 

participant to repeat course work for which the Secretary has previously 

made scholarship payments under Sec.  62.7. However, if the repeated 

course work does not delay the participant's graduation date, 

scholarship payments will continue except for any additional costs 

relating to the repeated course work. Any scholarship payments suspended 

under this paragraph will be resumed by the Secretary upon notification 

by the school that the participant has returned from the leave-of-

absence or has completed the repeated course work and is pursuing as a 

full-time student the course of study for which the scholarship was 

awarded.
