     4  read as follows:
     5    c. Restrictions. In no [even shall] event shall any award:
     6    (i) be made unless the annual tuition (exclusive of educational  fees)
     7  and,  if  applicable,  the college fee levied by the state university of
     8  New York pursuant  to  the  April  first,  nineteen  hundred  sixty-four
     9  financing  agreement with the New York state dormitory authority charged
    10  for the program in which the student is  enrolled  total  at  least  two
    11  hundred dollars; or
    12    (ii)  exceed  the  amount  by  which such annual tuition (exclusive of
    13  educational fees) and, if applicable, the  college  fee  levied  by  the
    14  state  university  of  New  York  pursuant  to the April first, nineteen
    15  hundred sixty-four financing agreement with the New York state dormitory
    16  authority exceed the total of all other state, federal, or other  educa-
    17  tional  aid  that  is  received or receivable by such student during the
    18  school year for which such award is applicable and that, in the judgment
    19  of the commissioner, would duplicate the purposes of the award; or

    21  subdivision. The commissioner shall list in his  regulations  all  major
    22  state and federal financial aid available to New York state students and

    24  tuition assistance  program.  For  the  purposes  of  this  subdivision,
    25  neither United States war orphan educational benefits nor benefits under
    26  the  veterans'  readjustment  act of nineteen hundred sixty-six shall be
    27  considered as federal or other educational aid; or
    28    (iv) be made to anyone matriculated at a for-profit institution.
