The President can let citizens of other American countries take classes, free or paid, at professional schools the U.S. government runs. Those students must agree to follow the schools' rules and try their best in their courses. At U.S.-run primary schools, though, the President's rules can never let this reduce the spots available to American citizens.

The President can decide, in his discretion and through rules set by Executive order, to let citizens of the American republics receive instruction — with or without charge — at professional educational institutions and schools that the United States government, or one of its departments or agencies, maintains and runs. Two conditions apply. First, those foreign citizens must agree to follow all the rules governing the institutions and schools where they study, and to make every effort to successfully complete the courses they're taking. Second, the President's rules must limit how many citizens of the American republics can attend primary schools that the U.S. government maintains and runs, so that admitting them never reduces the number of spots available to U.S. citizens who are eligible to attend those primary schools.
