Congress automatically funds Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and several Pacific territories each year. They get the same college funding a state would get under this law. The money follows the same rules as funding under section 322.

Every year, money is automatically set aside from the Treasury — no new vote needed — to pay the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. Each gets the amount it would receive under this subchapter if it were a state. This money is treated the same way, and follows the same rules, as if it had been appropriated under the first sentence of section 322 of this title.
