          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IHE Nonprofit Clarity Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill specifies that an institution of higher education (IHE) that is recognized as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 must also be deemed as a nonprofit&amp;nbsp;IHE for purposes of the Higher Education Act of 1965. Thus, if the Internal Revenue Service recognizes an IHE as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization,&amp;nbsp;then the Department of Education must also recognize the&amp;nbsp;IHE as a nonprofit IHE.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
