SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

External Diploma Scholarship Program. Establishes, from such funds as may be appropriated or received, the External Diploma Scholarship Program and Fund, administered by the State Council of Higher Education, to provide scholarships to students who have graduated from a Virginia public high school with an eligible external diploma, such as the International Baccalaureate, and who are enrolled in or accepted for enrollment in any four-year public institution of higher education in Virginia.

Awards would be for one year; scholarships may be renewed annually for no more than three subsequent years of study for students enrolled in four-year undergraduate programs, or, from such funds as are available, for no more than four subsequent years of study for students enrolled in five-year undergraduate programs. Scholarship amounts are determined annually, but cannot exceed the actual amount of full tuition and required fees at the relevant four-year public institution of higher education. This bill is identical to SB 435.
