SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Tuition grants for certain students. Removes the $500 cap on the amount of tuition grants for members of the Virginia National Guard enrolled in an institution of higher education in Virginia and provides that the grant amount may not exceed the difference between the full cost of tuition and any other educational benefits for which they are eligible as members of the National Guard. Under current law, the grant amount may be half of the cost of tuition, not to exceed $500 per term or $1,000 in any one year.

To be eligible for such a grant, the Virginia National Guard member must also have a minimum remaining obligation of two years, must have satisfactorily completed required initial active duty service, and must be satisfactorily performing duty pursuant to National Guard regulations.
