1999 SESSION
HB 2189 Undergraduate and Vocational Incentive Scholarship Program.
Introduced by: Alan A. Diamonstein | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Virginia Undergraduate and Vocational Incentive Scholarship Program. Amends the Virginia Undergraduate and Vocational Incentive Scholarship Program, which was created in 1998 by legislation that included a reenactment clause. By repealing the 1998 Act and introducing the measure anew with additional changes, this bill effectuates the necessary reenactment.
Amendments in the 1999 measure: (i) clarify that the scholarships are for students at public and private not-for-profit institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth; (ii) limit scholarships to no more than three academic years; (iii) cap scholarship amounts (a) at full tuition and required fees for recipients attending a four-year public institution of higher education and (b) at average tuition and fees charged at four-year public institutions of higher education for recipients attending a four-year private, not-for-profit institution of higher education; (iv) require students to have completed at least one year of study to be eligible for an initial award; and (v) delay the effective date to the 2000 academic year.
The Program is to be administered by the State Council of Higher Education. Similar to the Community College Incentive Scholarship Program (§ 23-220.2 et seq.), these scholarships are available to eligible full-time students attending four-year institutions. Students must also have a B average or better and be enrolled in designated programs that address Virginia's workforce training needs. The Virginia Economic Development Partnership is to advise the Council, upon request, regarding those programs that address these workforce development needs.
