SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Admission of state cadets at the Virginia Military Institute.  Amends provisions for the admission of state cadets to provide that, upon evidence of fair moral character, sufficient state cadets, selected from the Commonwealth at large, must be admitted by the VMI Board of Visitors. Currently, at least fifty state cadets are selected from each senatorial district and from the Commonwealth at large.  The measure also provides for military scholarship cadets. Up to 40 such cadets are to be admitted by the Board of Visitors to receive financial aid in exchange for a commitment to serve as commissioned officers in the Virginia National Guard for a term in accordance with Guard policy and regulation. If a military scholarship cadet fails to fulfill the obligation to serve in the Virginia National Guard, he must repay the scholarship unless excused from the obligation by the VMI Board of Visitors, in consultation with the Virginia National Guard.  The financial assistance for the military scholarship cadets must be entirely from federal funds, Virginia National Guard funds, or private gifts that do not have matching requirements.
