Support for all courses, or only some?

I'm still a few weeks off from being eligible, but I was looking at the page for Volunteers about Instructors, and it seems the examples they gave are all specific inworld skills, not really RL skills taught in Second Life contexts. I would love to get more support for language classes in SL, especially since with the removal of dwell we're losing some of our cushion against land tier. And languages classes (along with other RL skills like writing workshops, history classes and so on) seem to fall under the description listed:
"Classes should be PG-content, free and open to all residents, and should not promote a particular product, location, or enterprise."
Would language classes receive Linden support?

The answer here is no. Nothing against foreign language classes (which
SL is an excellent platform for) but the educational
event support program was setup for instructors who teach SL skills to
other residents, thereby supplementing our Help documentation and
reducing support load.

My suggestion would be if you want to make money teaching foreign
language classes you should consider charging for 'em. Hope that helps...
