SB 1290 Higher educational institutions; full or partial tuition waiver for dependent children of faculty.

Introduced by: John S. Edwards | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE:

Higher education; tuition waiver for dependent children of faculty. Authorizes public institutions of higher education to grant full or partial tuition waivers to dependent students of faculty members employed by the institution, to be paid for out of the institution's nongeneral funds. The bill would also authorize public institutions to enter into reciprocal agreements that would allow the dependents of faculty to use waivers at other public institutions that are party to the agreement.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Higher education; partial tuition waiver for dependent children of faculty. Requires public institutions of higher education to grant a 50 percent tuition waiver to dependent students of current full-time faculty members who have been employed full time by any one or more public Virginia colleges or universities for an aggregate period of at least seven years if sufficient funds are available in the Dependent Children of University and College Faculty Reduced Tuition Fund, which is created in the bill. The waiver would be valid at any public institution of higher education in Virginia. The provisions of the bill are contingent on funding in a general appropriation act.
