Nope, it is spelled out in 73.503:

Sec. 
<http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/get-cfr.cgi?TITLE=47&TYPE=PDF&PART=73&SECTION=503>73.<../..htm>503 
Licensing requirements and service.

     The operation of, and the service furnished by noncommercial
educational FM broadcast stations shall be governed by the following:
     (a) A noncommercial educational FM broadcast station will be
licensed only to a nonprofit educational organization and upon showing
that the station will be used for the advancement of an educational
program.


However, the definition of what is a "non-profit education organization" is 
VERY loosely defined.  It's not limited to high schools or colleges 
(accredited or not) at all....really any non-profit can finagle themselves 
into qualifying.
