The $'s are not money you are actually given, but the maximum $ amount the team will reimburse you. (You pay up front and then submit your expenses to MLB for reimbursement.)
It is my understanding that you can go to school in the off season and use the funds on a prorated basis. Once you begin going as a player, then they only allow you to miss one year or you lose it. Fall assignments give you an exemption. There is more, i cannot find the paperwork.
MLB will allow schools to directly bill mlb for tuition, etc. Most will do that. That includes dorms as well , but if you live off campus you have to show proof and will only get reimbursed for the school year for what a dorm would cost. I have the information somewhere, I will find it tomorrow.
