SUMMARY AS PASSED:

All dependents of such military personnel receiving in-state tuition shall be afforded the same educational benefits as any other individual receiving in-state tuition so long as they are continuously enrolled in an institution of higher education in Virginia or are transferring between Virginia institutions of higher education. This bill is identical to HB 695.

SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE:

In-state tuition for certain military personnel and dependents. Provides that all military personnel on active duty for more than 30 days, both regular and reserves, who are domiciled in Virginia or are assigned to a permanent duty station in Virginia and their dependents living in Virginia, who are not otherwise eligible for in-state tuition, shall be entitled to in-state tuition for as long as they are continuously enrolled. A second enactment clause provides that this act will not become effective unless an appropriation of general funds for its purposes is included in the general appropriations act passes by the 2006 Session of the General Assembly, and becomes law.
