Rising costs spur action on Virginia military tuition program
The legislation, now headed to the House Appropriations Committee, stems from a recent review of the Virginia Military Survivors & Dependents Education Program (VMSDEP) by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC). Among JLARC’s key recommendations were increased reporting requirements ensuring 'sufficient general funds to cover 100% of institutions’ forgone revenue.'
The move comes as lawmakers grapple with rising program costs, debates over eligibility, and calls for additional funding — issues that have been under discussion since the last legislative session," reports Virginia Mercury.
