1 More Year to Use Financial Aid for Foreign Online Programs - sanantone - 06-15-2022
I didn't know that, for the past two years, Congress granted a waiver that allowed Americans to use financial aid for distance education programs at non-U.S. institutions. Normally, students cannot use financial aid at foreign schools if any courses are taken online. At most, a course can be blended, but a program cannot be hybrid with a mix of online and on-campus courses.
Because of the pandemic, students have been allowed to take up to 100% of their courses by distance from 2020 to June 30, 2022. Earlier this year, the waiver was extended to June 2023.

The applicable part of the original bill starts on page 319.
