STUDENT GRANTS (§ 23.1-627.4)

A. Subject to the availability of funds, any eligible student who enrolls in a
noncredit workforce training program offered by an eligible institution pursuant
to the Program may apply for and be awarded a grant to cover two-thirds of the
cost of the noncredit workforce training program, provided that at the time of
enrollment the eligible student pays one-third of the cost of the noncredit
workforce training program and signs an agreement to complete the noncredit
workforce training program or pay an additional one-third of the program cost in
the event of noncompletion. Upon the presentation of satisfactory proof of
completion of the noncredit workforce training program by the eligible student,
the Council shall reimburse the institution in an amount equal to one-third of
the cost of the program. Upon the presentation of satisfactory proof of the
attainment of a noncredit workforce credential by the eligible student, the
Council shall reimburse the institution in an amount equal to one-third of the
cost of the program. However, the Council shall not reimburse any eligible
institution more than $4,000 per completed noncredit workforce training program
per eligible student pursuant to the Program.

B. Grants shall not be reduced by an eligible student&#8217;s concurrent receipt
of financial aid from any other source except in cases in which the grant and
such other financial aid would result in total assistance in excess of tuition,
fees, books, and other allowable costs of completing the noncredit workforce
credential program.
