                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

ELIGIBILITY; SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRATION (§ 23.1-632)

Individuals who have failed to meet the federal requirement to register for the
Selective Service are not eligible to receive grants. However, an individual who
has failed to register for the Selective Service shall not be denied a right,
privilege, or benefit under this section if (i) the requirement to so register
has terminated or become inapplicable to the individual and (ii) the individual
shows by a preponderance of the evidence that the failure to register was not a
knowing and willful failure to register. The Council shall be assisted in
enforcing this provision by the eligible institutions whose students benefit
from the Program.
